Novak Grebostrek (Serbian Cyrillic: Новак Гребострек, fl. 1312–14) was a veliki vojvoda of Serbian King Stefan Milutin (r. 1282–1321), who commanded a Serbian contingent supporting Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos against Turks in Asia Minor.[1] Novak's army had the task of liberating the Byzantine counties around Brus, Nicaea and Nicomedia from the Turks.[2] The victories of Novak have been recorded in papers of Church of St. George, Staro Nagoričane.[3]
It has been claimed that Novak was the father of Vojihna. Svetomir Nikolajević (1844–1922) concluded this on the basis after Alexander Hilferding (1831–1872), who recorded folk traditions traveling Serbia before 1859.[4][5]
Novak and veliki župan Dragoš are the only nobility mentioned in Danilo II's Život kraljeva i arhiepiskopa srpskih (1337–40).[6] Novak is the oldest known veliki vojvoda,[7] after him, Jovan Oliver had the title.[1] He is enumerated in Serbian epic poetry, and poems (or dramas) of Dragoljub J. Filipović (1884–1933),[8] Dragutin Subotić (1887–1952), Rastko Tadić[9] and Milutin Bojić (1892–1917).[10]
