Danilo II

Danilo II was the Serbian Archbishop 1324 to 1337, under the rule of Kings Stephen Uroš III (1321–1331) and Stefan Dušan. As a Serbian monk, he was also a chronicler, active in court and Church politics, holding the office during the zenith of the Nemanjić dynasty-era; he wrote many biographies which are considered part of the most notable medieval Serbian literature. He was proclaimed Saint Danilo II of the Serbian Orthodox Church and is celebrated on the same day as Saint Ignatius of Antioch on 2 January [O.S. 20 December].
