Belojević (Serbian: pl. Белојевићи) was a Serbian noble family that served the first Serbian Principality (768-960). Beloje, the eponymous founder, was a lord in Travunia under Prince Vlastimir of Serbia (ca. 836-850, he may have had his position under Radoslav or Prosigoj as well, fl. 819-822). Vlastimir marries his daughter to Krajina, the son of Beloje, and gives Krajina the title of Župan, sometime after the Bulgaro-Serb War (839-842).^[1] Krajina's descendants continue the rule of Travunia (hinterland of Dubrovnik and Boka Kotorska, with seat at Trebinje^[2]) under the Serbian crown; his son Hvalimir, and his son Čučimir. No more is known of the family after the De Administrando Imperio by Emperor Constantine VII (945-959). In 969, Serbia was conquered by the Byzantine Empire.
