  • Fall of the Serbian Empire
rdfs:comment
  • The initial years (1371–1389) are characterized by the emerging and fall of Duke Lazar Hrebeljanović (initially a lord, later autocrat - as a suzerain), and the power struggle of the minor provinces. The rule of Lazar ends with the Battle of Kosovo on Vidovdan, June 15, 1389 when Serbia stands up against the Ottomans, an event that is deeply rooted in Serbdom. Since the battle, and by 1395, most of the southern imperial provinces are conquered and annexed by the Ottoman Empire, while the provinces of modern Central Serbia accepts nominal Ottoman rule. Lazar is succeeded by his son, Stefan, who later receives the title of Despot, hence Serbian Despotate - the Serbian state that existed 1402 - 1459.

abstract
  • The initial years (1371–1389) are characterized by the emerging and fall of Duke Lazar Hrebeljanović (initially a lord, later autocrat - as a suzerain), and the power struggle of the minor provinces. The rule of Lazar ends with the Battle of Kosovo on Vidovdan, June 15, 1389 when Serbia stands up against the Ottomans, an event that is deeply rooted in Serbdom. Since the battle, and by 1395, most of the southern imperial provinces are conquered and annexed by the Ottoman Empire, while the provinces of modern Central Serbia accepts nominal Ottoman rule. Lazar is succeeded by his son, Stefan, who later receives the title of Despot, hence Serbian Despotate - the Serbian state that existed 1402 - 1459. The military commanders engaged in several conflicts; civil wars, against, and with the Ottomans, the circumstances of which are richly attested in Serb epic poetry.
