Balša I was the first ruler of the Principality of Zeta and the founder of the House of Balšić. In 1356, he came to power in Zeta after the death of Serbian Tsar Dušan Nemanjić. During his rule, he asserted Zeta's full independence due to the fact that Zeta was only semi-independent. He had three sons, Đurađ I, Stracimir, and Balša II, two of whom ruled Zeta: Đurađ I and Balša II. He ruled until 1362.
