Details
Stefan Ratković (Serbian Cyrillic: Стефан Ратковић; fl. 1456–59) was a Serbian nobleman and the last veliki logotet (Grand Logothete) of the Serbian Despotate. His court was in Draginovci, in the Lepenica region of Serbia, where he had his oldest estates. He was known to have already held the title of (standard) logotet in September 1456. He was elevated to the rank of the veliki logotet at the beginning of Despot Lazar Branković's (December 1456-January 1458) reign. He was loyal to Despot Lazar during the succession conflict between Lazar and his brother Stefan Branković on one side, and Grgur Branković, Mara Branković and Thomas Kantakouzenos on the other side. He also sided with Stefan Branković, Helena Palaiologina and their pro-Hungarian party during the plots of pro-Ottoman renegade Mihailo Anđelović in March 1458 which led to Anđelović's downfall and imprisonment. His holdings, which had already expanded during the last years of Despot Đurađ Branković, were further increased with lands all over the Despotate's territory during the reign of Despot Lazar and Despot Stefan as a reward for his loyalty to them and other services. However, they were all under the system of pronoia, in which a nobleman's ownership of his lands was conditional on providing military support to the state, as opposed to baština, the other form of land ownership in medieval Serbia, which was full and unconditional.
