Krstaš-barjak
The ''krstaš-barjak'' ( crusader flag) ( sr-Cyrl, крсташ-барјак; from ''krstaš'', " crusader" and ''barjak'', "flag, banner") refers to various war flags with crosses in the centre, part of Montenegrin tradition, originating from medieval military flags. The krstaš-barjak 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 later adopted as a military flag by the Principality of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Montenegrin–Ottoman War ( sr-Cyrl, Црногорско-турски рат, Crnogorsko-turski rat, "Montenegrin-Turkish War"), also known in Montenegro as the Great War (, ''Velji rat''), was fought between the Principality of Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire between 1876 and 1878. The war ended with Montenegrin victory and Ottoman defeat in the larger Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Six major and 27 smaller battles were fought, among which was the crucial Battle of Vučji Do. A rebellion in nearby Herzegovina sparked a series of rebellions and uprisings against the Ottomans in Europe. Montenegro and Serbia agreed to declare a war on the Ottomans on 18 June 1876. The Montenegrins allied themselves with Herzegovians. One battle that was crucial to Montenegro's victory in the war was the Battle of Vučji Do. In 1877, Montenegrins fought heavy battles along the borders of Herzegovina and Albania. Prince Nicholas took the initiative and counterattacked the Ottoman forc ...

John The Apostle
John the Apostle (; ; ), also known as Saint John the Beloved and, in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Saint John the Theologian, 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 (disciple), Salome. His brother James the Great, James was another of the Twelve Apostles. The Church Fathers identify him as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, John the Presbyter, John the Elder, and the Disciple whom Jesus loved, Beloved Disciple, and claim 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 ...

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 ...
