From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Đurađ II Balšić (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђурађ II Балшић), or Gjergj Balsha II (Albanian: Gjergj Balsha II)[1] fl. 1385 – April 1403)[a], was the Lord of Zeta from 1385 to 1403, as a member of the Balšić noble family. He was the son of Stracimir Balšić, and succeeded his paternal uncle Balša II in ruling Zeta. He reigned from 1386 up to 1389 in the still officially undissolved Serbian Empire in the form of a family alliance, then up to 1395 as an Ottoman vassal. He ruled until his death in 1403, when he was succeeded by his only son, Balša III. He is known in Serbian epic poetry as Strahinja Banović.
