Krstaš-barjak
The ''krstaš-barjak'' (crusader flag) ( sr-Cyrl, крсташ-барјак; from ''krst'', "cross" and ''barjak'', "flag, banner") refers to various war flags with crosses in the centre, part of Montenegrin tradition, originating from medieval military flags. It is known that Serbian Emperor Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–55) adopted the Byzantine cross flag (''divellion'', which was purple and had a golden cross in the center). According to Serbian epic poetry, during the Ottoman period, hajduks had war flags with crosses (''krstaš-barjak'') or icons of saints (''svetački barjak''). The ''krstaš-barjak'' is mentioned in poems of the ''Kosovo Cycle''; knight Boško Jugović bears it at the battle of Kosovo (1389). It was used as the general rebel flag during the Serbian Revolution (1804–17), and as the secondary flag of the supreme commander (Karađorđe 1804–13; Miloš Obrenović 1815–17). It was adopted as a military flag by the Principality of Montenegro (1852–1910) and K ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John The Apostle
John the Apostle ( grc, Ἰωάννης; la, Ioannes ; Ge'ez: ዮሐንስ;) or Saint John the Beloved was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Generally listed as the youngest apostle, he was the son of Zebedee and Salome. His brother James was another of the Twelve Apostles. The Church Fathers identify him as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, John the Elder, and the Beloved Disciple, and testify that he outlived the remaining apostles and was the only one to die of natural causes, although modern scholars are divided on the veracity of these claims. John the Apostle is traditionally held to be the author of the Gospel of John, and many Christian denominations believe that he authored several other books of the New Testament (the three Johannine epistles and the Book of Revelation, together with the Gospel of John, are called the Johannine works), depending on whether he is distinguished from, or identified with, John the Evangelist, John t ...

Milan Toplica
In Serbian epic poetry, Toplica Milan ( sr-Cyrl, Топлица Милан; or Milan Toplica, sr-Cyrl, link=no, Милан Топлица), also known as Milan from Toplica ( sr, / ), was a Serbian knight who died during the historical Battle of Kosovo in 1389. According to folk songs, he was born in the Toplica region and was a sworn brother (in Serbian: побратим / ''pobratim'') to Miloš Obilić and Ivan Kosančić, and had before the battle promised himself to a girl, the Kosovo Maiden.

Ivan Kosančić
Ivan Kosančić ( sr-cyr, Иван Косанчић) was a Serbian knight who died during the historical Battle of Kosovo in 1389. Biography He was born in the upper Toplica region (south Serbia)- mountain Radan, near the town of Kuršumlija. He was a sworn brother (in Serbian: pobratim) to Miloš Obilić and Milan Toplica. Some narratives, particularly the epic ballad ''Kosovo Maiden'', where the eponymous maiden is betrothed to Milan Toplica and Kosančić is supposed to serve as a ''đever'' on their wedding that never came to be, strongly suggest that Kosančić and Toplica might actually be siblings. Another strong hint comes from the fact that both of the heroes come from the Toplica region, with Milan taking his surname after it, whereas Ivan takes it after Kosanica river that flows through the area. In some older Ragusan chronicles, corresponding with local folklore in Herzegovina and North Montenegro, these two characters are merged into one, sometimes confusingly ...

Miloš Obilić
Miloš Obilić ( sr-cyr, Милош Обилић, ) was a legendary Serbian knight who is reputed to have been in the service of Prince Lazar during the Ottoman invasion of Serbia in the late 14th century. He is not mentioned in contemporary sources, but features prominently in later accounts of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo as the assassin of Sultan Murad. Although the assassin remains anonymous in sources until the late 15th century, the dissemination of the story of Murad's assassination in Florentine, Serbian, Ottoman and Greek sources suggests that versions of it circulated widely across the Balkans within half a century of the event. It is not certain whether Obilić actually existed, but Lazar's family – strengthening their political control – "gave birth to the myth of Kosovo", including the story of Obilić. He became a major figure in Serbian epic poetry, in which he is elevated to the level of the most noble national hero of medieval Serbian folklore. Along with the m ...

Medieval Serbian Army
The medieval Serbian army was well known for its strength and was among the strongest in the Balkans before the Ottoman expansion. Prior to the 14th century the army consisted of European-style noble cavalry armed with bows and lances (replaced with crossbows in the 14th century) and infantry armed with spears, javelins and bows. With the economic growth from mining, mercenary knights from Western Europe were recruited to finalize and increase the effectiveness of the army, especially throughout 14th century. History Early Middle Ages Between 839 and 842 the Bulgar Khan Presian invaded inland parts of the Serbian territory, the two having lived peacefully sharing a common frontier up until that point. The cause for the invasion is unclear. It led to a war that lasted three years, in which the Bulgars were decisively defeated. In the mid 850s the Bulgarians under Boris I made another unsuccessful attempt to subdue the Serbs. In the beginning of the 10th century Simeon I launc ...
