Stefan Balšić (Serbian Cyrillic language: Стефан Балшић
- fl. 1419-40), known as Stefan Maramonte, was a Zetan nobleman. He was the son of Konstantin Balšić[1] and Helena Thopia. After Konstantin's death (1402), Helena entered the Republic of Venice and then lived with her sister Maria. Since Maria was married to Phillip Maramonte, the Venetians and Ragusans often referred to Stefan Balšić with the name Maramonte.[2] He was initially a close associate to Zetan lord Balša III (r. 1403-1421), being his vassal.[1] Balša III and Stefan fought against the Republic of Venice, and Stefan helped in the administration of the land, he did however not succeed Balša III.[3] Balša III, who died on 28 April 1421, had decided to pass the rule of Zeta to his uncle, the Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarević. When the Second Scutari War between Venice and Despot Stefan began, he [...].[3] Stefan left Apulia in the summer of 1426, seeking to take Zeta.[4] He married Vlajka Kastrioti, the sister of Skanderbeg.
He attacked Scutari in 1429.
