Ivaniš was a Serbian magnate (velikaš) who served Emperor Stefan Dušan as despot. He is mentioned in Emperor Dušan's charter of the Monastery of the Holy Archangels near Prizren, dated 1348, in which he calls Ivaniš a "parent of my Empire". Not much is known about him, though his high dignitary title and the fact that Dušan called him "his parent" shows that he was a close relative with the royal family. Ivaniš had possessions in the Toplica region and granted one of his villages to the Monastery. Ivaniš and then his son, Altoman, held a province in Toplica, evidently near the core of the future province of Lazar Hrebeljanović.
