Marko Kraljevic
Marko Kraljević, (born c. 1335—died May 17, 1395, Rovine,
Walachia [now in Romania]), Serbian king(1371–95) of a realm
centred in what is now Macedonia and a hero in the
literature and traditions of the South Slavic peoples.
Marko Kraljević (“Mark, the King’s Son”) was a member of
the Mrnjavčević family, which some sources suggest had
Herzegovinian origins. Marko’s father, Vukašin, was king of
the southern Serbian lands whose capital was Prilep (now in
Macedonia). When Vukašin was slain in battle with the Turks
in 1371, Marko succeeded him as king but as a vassal to the
Ottoman sultan. Marko is known to have completed a
Cennet Gökşin Yüksel-TURKEY
monastery at Sušica, near Skopje (Maced.), and to have died
ghting at the Battle of Rovine (1395) during a war between
the Turks and the Walachian prince Mircea the Old, but
otherwise his life is sparsely documented. More colourful
details have been preserved in Serbian ballads and epic
poetry, as well as in various Balkan folk songs. Joyous, just,
strong, incredibly brave, and chivalrous to a fault, Marko is
portrayed as an implacable foe of the Turks, a prodigious
drinker of wine, and inseparable from his horse, Šarac.
