Serblias family

The Serblias family (Greek: Σερβλίας) was a Byzantine family that were active between the 11th and 13th centuries, employed in civil service in the central and provincial government.[1] A part of the family was related to the Spanopouloi in the 1090s.[1] The etymology of the name derives from their origin, either Serbia (Σερβλία), or the fortress town of Servia (τὰ Σἐρβλια).[2]
