Stefan Branković, also known as Stefan the Blind, was a ruler of the Serbian Despotate who reigned briefly between 1458 and 1459. Born in Belgrade around 1417 to Đurađ Branković and Eirene Kantakouzene, he was the final reigning member of the Branković dynasty. After being blinded in 1441, he eventually regained political influence through his sister-in-law, Helena Palaiologina. Following his deposition by Hungarian and Bosnian forces, he relocated to Italy, where he lived as a noble until his death in Udine in 1476.
