Stefan Uroš II Milutin (Serbian Cyrillic: Стефан Урош II Милутин; c. 1253 – 29 October 1321), known as Stefan Milutin (Стефан Милутин), was the King of Serbia between 1282–1321, a member of the Nemanjić dynasty. He was one of the most powerful rulers of Serbia in the Middle Ages. Milutin is credited with strongly resisting the efforts of Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos to impose Roman Catholicism on the Balkans after the Union of Lyons in 1274. During his regin, Serbian economic power grew rapidly, mostly due to the development of mining. He founded Novo Brdo, which became an internationally important silver mining site. As most of the Nemanjić monarchs, he was proclaimed a saint by the Serbian Orthodox Church with a feast day on October 30.[1][2][3][4]

Milutin appears in the Dante Alighieri's narrative poem Divine Comedy.[5]

He succeeded in 1282 on the abdication of his brother as STEFAN UROŠ II MILUTIN King of Serbia and Lord of Primorje. Serbia attacked Macedonia in 1282, conquering Skopje (which became King Milutin's main residence) either then or during the 1290s, and Durazzo in 1296[205]. In retaliation for the invasion of Serbia by Šišman, Lord of Vidin in Bulgaria, King Milutin conquered Vidin in 1292 and forced Šišman to seek refuge with his Tatar overlords. Peace was restored, but to appease the Tatars King Milutin sent his son as a hostage[206]. He made peace with Emperor Andronikos II in 1299, agreeing the Serbian/Byzantine border through Macedonia, and marrying the emperor's daughter as his fourth wife, her dowry being deemed to be the Byzantine territory which King Milutin had conquered over the previous years[207]. War with his brother broke out in 1300, lasting until 1312 or 1314. Milutin funded the war by increasing production from his mines, minting large quantities of silver coins, although Venice complained about their doubtful silver content. He also built numerous churches in Serbia during his reign, in return for which he received firm ecclesiastical support in his government[208]. “Stephanus Uroš, Serbiæ rex…abnepos sancti Symeonis et filius magni regis Uroš” built “templum in honorem sanctorum et justorum Joachim et Annæ” by charter dated 1314[209].

Hungary quickly retaliated and re-established Mačva as a Banate under a Hungarian appointee[210]. King Stefan Uroš II Milutin died after falling from his bed, without nominating his successor which triggered immediate civil war between his sons and his nephew[211].
