General Vuča
General Vuča () or General Vuka is a popular legendary hero of Serbian epic poetry who is depicted as an enemy of Prince Marko, Kraljević Marko. Song Vuča first appeared in the poem ''Marko Kraljević and General Vuča'', which was sung by Tešan Podrugović in Sremski Karlovci and recorded by Vuk Karadžić who published it in 1845 within second volume of the 'Songs of Serbian people' () collection. This song is one of the songs Podrugović learned in Srem. Vuča and his son Velimir are the most mysterious epic heroes who were enemies of Marko Kraljević. They are foreigners like other main enemies of Marko Kraljević and, as it is strongly hinted in some particular epic narratives, probably Hungarians. Like other enemies of Marko (i.e. Musa Kesedžija or Djemo the Mountaineer) Vuča is also of exceptional strength. At the beginning of the song Vuča captures three heroes (Miloš od Pocerja, Milan Toplica and Ivan Kosančić, Kosančić Ivan) who are friends of Kraljević Mar ...

Serbian Epic Poetry
Serbian epic poetry () is a form of epic poetry created by Serbs originating in today's Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and North Macedonia. The main cycles were composed by unknown Serb authors between the 14th and 19th centuries. They are largely concerned with historical events and personages. The instrument accompanying the epic poetry is the ''gusle''. Serbian epic poetry helped in developing the Serbian national consciousness. The cycles of Prince Marko, the Hajduks and Uskoks inspired the Serbs to restore freedom and their heroic past. The Hajduks in particular, are seen as an integral part of national identity; in stories, the hajduks were heroes: they had played the role of the Serbian elite during Ottoman rule, they had defended the Serbs against Ottoman oppression, and prepared for the national liberation and contributed to it in the Serbian Revolution. History The earliest surviving record of an epic poem related to Serbian epic poetry is a ten ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Petrovaradin
Petrovaradin ( sr-Cyrl, Петроварадин, ) is a historic town in the Serbian province of Vojvodina, now a part of the city of Novi Sad. As of 2011, the urban area has 14,810 inhabitants. Lying on the right bank of the Danube, across the main part of Novi Sad, it is built around the Petrovaradin Fortress, the historical anchor of the modern city.

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 ...
