Stefan Dragutin was a 13th-century monarch who served as the King of Serbia from 1276 to 1282. Following a riding accident, he abdicated the Serbian throne to his brother, Milutin, but continued to rule northern territories, including parts of Syrmia, until his death in 1316. He was the son of King Stefan Uroš I and Queen Helen. After his reign, he entered a monastery and lived as a monk under the name Theoctistus. He is recognized as a saint in both the Orthodox and Catholic traditions.
