  Prince Lazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lazar was born in Prilepac in 1329, the son of a minor vlastelin (noble).
The Serbian force was composed chiefly of Lazar's army, flanked by the troops of Vuk Branković and Tvrtko (commanded by fierce duke Vlatko Vuković).
It was her propaganda campaign, via the epic poetry composed at her court, that resulted in Lazar's quick canonization, and the subsequent portrayal of Vuk Brankovic as the traitor responsible for the Serbian defeat.

Lazar came from a family of petty nobles, and his father served diligently on Dusan's court, having held several offices of medium importance.

Lazar was shortly thereafter sainted as martyr, and his feast day - also known as Vidovdan (currently June 28 according to Gregorian calendar) - remains a special holiday, a day of remembrance of the Holy Prince, his comrades and successors, and their sacrifices for Christian values and national pride.
