He had two brothers, the older Ivaniš and the younger Nikola, and perhaps one sister. After the death of his older brother, Grand Duke of Bosnia, Ivaniš in November 1450, he and his younger brother, knez Nikola, shared the leadership of the House of Pavlović. In his political activities, he was limited by the influence of his uncle Stjepan Vukčić Kosača. He died during the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia in 1463.[2][3][4][1]
