 Prince Marko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Krali Marko was born, three narecnitsi (fate-fairies) appeared and fortold him he will become a hero and will replace his father - the king.
His mother Jevrosima is unknown to history, although Marko Kraljević has been recorded (along with his brother Andrija) in the historical chronicles of King Vukašin.
Songs attribute to Marko superhuman strength: he can squeeze water from cornel dried for nine years; his favourite weapon is a mace of 66 oka (85 kilograms); he chose his horse because it was the only horse he could not throw over his shoulder.

 Marko Kraljevic --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
Marko Kraljevic (“Mark, the King's Son”) was a member of the powerful Macedonian family allied to that of Balšic, which ruled in northern Albania and along the Adriatic.
When his father, King Vukašin, was slain in battle with the Turks in 1371, Marko succeeded him as a vassal to the sultan.
Joyous, just, strong, incredibly brave, and chivalrous to a fault, Marko is portrayed as an implacable foe of the Turks and a prodigious drinker of wine.

 Europe as culture. Epic and the dephts of history (4): An epic hero, Royal Marko
In the confused events of this period (1371-1395) King Marko appeared assuredly as one of the most significant actors of that great history that took place in those times not only in Prilep and Serres, but in the whole Balkans and fixed their destiny for centuries.
The epic hero Marko represented as a king in mourning for his father Vulkashin, fresco on the entrance gate of the monastery of the Archangel Michael, Prilep, Macedonia.
Similarly, Serbian historians have long given an ambiguous image of Marko Kraljevic, either a negative hero, vassal of a Turkish sultan, or a positive hero, a christian knight, brother-in-arms of the Serbian knights sung in the pieces of the Kossovo cycle.

 King Marko
Latter-day artistic renditions of Marko - like this nineteenth century painting by the renown Serbian poet and artist Djura Jaksic - are largely romanticized and mostly influenced by the image created by oral tradition, as they often replace the medieval king with a combination of a 17th c.
This and the next are the only two confirmed surviving renditions of Marko from his lifetime, considerably different from the images associated with him through later epic tradition.
Shown just following his father's death in battle, in a white garment - a sign of mourning taken from the Byzantine court tradition - Marko holds a sceptre and the unfolded founder's charther.

As the eldest son and heir to King Vukasin Mrnjavcevic, after his father's death in the 1371 Battle of Marica against the Turks, Marko continued the rule of the areas around Prizren, Skoplje and Prilep.
May 17th 1395, the most popular figure of the Serbian folk literature Kraljevic (Prince) Marko was killed - according to scarce historical data - as a Turkish vassal in the Battle of Rovine against the Vlach Duke Mirca.
There are almost no reliable data about his life and rule, but in the Serbian epic literature he was the ideal of heroism, chivalry and honesty and protector of the weak against oppression and violence.

 Projekat Rastko: The Battle of Kosovo (Serbian Epic Poems)
Now the claimants for the throne of Serbia were three: Marko, the son of Vukasin; Tvrtko, the king of Bosnia; and Lazar, the nobleman who would lead the armies at the Battle of Kosovo and become the much-mythologized and Christ-like tsar of the epic songs.
Most of the great songs about Marko Kraljevic in Karadzic's collection were recited by Podrugovic, and many reflect the characteristics not only of the long tradition he had inherited, but also of his own powerful personality.
The reader will understand that, for example, the Marko Kraljevic of the Introduction is the Marko Kraljevich of the text.

Mircea headed the Christian army in the battle of Rovine (1395), where it was defeated by Turks under Bayezid I. The historical Marko Kraljevic - a key Serbian epic poetry hero - is believed to have died there as a Turkish vassal.
Mircea's coinage can be divided into two main periods: before the battle of Rovine, and after it, when he became dependant on Hungarian king Sigismund; the first featured Slavic Cyrillic inscriptions, the second (shown here) Latin ones.
