The House of Vojislavljević was named a Serb ruler named Vojislav. His descendents ruled over the territories of Duklja/Zeta between ca. 1050 and ca 1160, and at times expanded their rule over other Serb states.
Časlav Klonimirović of the House of Vlastimirović had previously unified the Serb lands, but after his death, discord among the local leaders caused the kingdom to be lost to the Bulgars and the Byzantium.
Grand Župan Mihajlo (Michael), born after 1042, came to power in Zeta/Duklja around 1050/1055 and he maintained Serb independence from the Byzantine Empire. Mihailo received royal insignia from the Pope Gregory VII. The image of King Mihailo with his crown is still found in the Church of St.Mihailo in Ston, a town in the Pelješac peninsula (in present-day Croatia). Mihajlo's rule ended in 1080.
His successors were King Konstantin Bodin, son of Mihajlo who ruled 1080-1101. Bodin fought Byzantium and Normans and took the town of Durachium. He established vassal states in Bosnia (under Stefan) and Raska (under Vukan and Marko), which recognized his supremacy.
Incessant struggles for power among his heirs weakened the state. These struggles culminated in the rise to power of pro-Raska rulers in Duklja such as King Dobroslav, younger brother of Konstantin Bodin and later King Djordje, son of Konstantin. The rise of Raska under its ruler Stefan Nemanja (around 1166) and its state religion, Orthodoxy - resulted in the conversion of Zeta/Duklja to Orthodoxy from Catholicism.
