Kesar Novak (Кесар Новак) was a 14th-century Serbian nobleman that held the region of Lake Prespa during the Serbian Empire of Uroš the Weak (r. 1355–1371).

Biography

Novak held the title of Caesar, and is hence also known as Kesar Novak. He had a Greek wife, Kali, with whom he had a daughter Marija (Maria) and a son Amiral (Amiralis).

Among his endowments are the cave-church of Bogorodica (Holy Virgin Eleusa) on the island of Maligrad where frescoes and Greek inscriptions of his family exist dating to 1369.
