Life
Roles and affiliation
Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.
What this means
As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.

Connections
How Stefan Dušan connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Veneration 1
What this means
A figure is venerated somewhere or by someone. Not a claim about how many people did, or when they stopped.
Does not imply recognition by any other church or tradition · a judgement about the historicity of the life · the same status in every branch of the church that confers it
