The son of Radoslav, and grandson of Višeslav,Template:Sfn the first Serbian ruler by name,[1] Prosigoj is believed to have ruled some time before c.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". 830,Template:Sfn or until 835.[2]Template:Better source One of these most likely ruled during the revolt of Ljudevit of the Slavs in Lower Pannonia against the Franks (819–822).Template:Sfn According to Einhard's Royal Frankish Annals, Ljudevit fled from his seat at Sisak to the Serbs in 822,Template:Sfn with Einhard mentioning the Serbs as a people "which is said to be holding a great part of Dalmatia" (ad Sorabos, quae natio magnam Dalmatiae partem obtinere dicitur) but according to John (Jr.) Fine, it was hard to find Serbs in this area since the Byzantine sources were limited to the southern coast, also it is possible that among other tribes exists tribe of group of small tribes of Serbs.[3] The mentioning of "Dalmatia" in 822 and 833 as an old geographical term by the authors of Frankish Annals was Pars pro toto with a vague perception of what this geographical term actually referred to.[4] At this time, there was still peace with Bulgaria. His son Vlastimir is the eponymous founder of the Vlastimirović dynasty, which ruled until c. 960.
The four named succeeding Serbian rulers are not mentioned in the Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja (CPD),Template:Sfn a source dating to c. 1300–10Template:Sfn and largely discredited in historiography (the CPD is deemed useless for events in the Early Middle Ages).Template:Sfn Instead, the CPD mentions several historically unconfirmed or legendary rulers, Svevlad, Selimir, Vladin and Ratimir, although it maintains the patrilineal succession tradition.Template:Sfn According to Sima Lukin Lazić (1863–1904), Prosigoj was dead by the time of a Bulgar attack on Serbia following the Bulgar conquest of Frankish-held Banat and Syrmia.[5]
