Duklja defeats another imperial attack in 1042.
Constantinople had sent a "coalition" of vassal Slavic chiefs to fight Voislav, consisting of the Župan of Bosnia, Knez (Prince) Ljutovid of Zachlumia and the Župan of Raska.
Fine suggests that under imperial dominance, "Rascia" had in the 1040s emerged as yet another Serbian state (roughly centered on what is now southern Serbia and Kosovo.
Vojislav wins a great victory against his attackers.
He overthrows Ljutovid and places the region entirely under his control.
Duklja is undoubtedly the leading Slavic state.
