John Uroš

Jovan Uroš or Ioannes Doukas Palaiologos Oureses ( gr Ιωάννης Ούρεσης Δούκας Παλαιολόγος ) was the son of Simeon Uroš Palaiologos and his wife Thomais, and ruler of Thessaly from 1371 to about 1381st

He succeeded his father Simeon as Emperor of the Romans and Serbs in Thessaly, but showed no great interest in the secular rule. Early on, he developed an affection for the Meteora monasteries, some of which came under the rule of his father, and he also supported financially. In 1381 he became a monk under the name of Jehoshaphat and handed over the reign of Alexios Angelos Philanthropenos his administrator, who acknowledged the suzerainty of Byzantium. This in turn was succeeded by his son Manuel Angelos Philanthropenos, Thessaly in 1394 lost to the Ottomans. One last Christian rule in Thessaly have existed in Farsala, under Stefan Uroš, who is said to have his older brother Jovan survived several years. Jovan, now as a monk Jehoshaphat, his sister Maria helped in Epirus after the assassination of her husband Thomas Preljubović. In the 1390ern Jovan lived in the monk of Mount Athos. 1401 he returned to the Meteora monasteries, where he died around 1422 or 1423.
