Biography
Michael bore the title of despot and was a son of Tsar Michael III Shishman Asen.
He is known almost solely from the donor inscription in the church at Donja Kamenica (on the Serbian-Bulgarian borderland), where he is depicted together with his wife — a rare pictorial witness to a secondary member of the royal house, surviving in the fresco of a remote provincial church.
