  Prince Marko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marko turned into a hero of many songs of Serbian, Bulgarian and Macedonian epic poetry.
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's chosen sister is a vila called Ravijojla.

 Marko Kraljevic - InformationBlast
Marko Kraljević (around 1335-1395) - Serbian medieval ruler, vassal to Turks, and hero of many songs of Serbian epic poetry.
It is said that he decided to die when guns were invented and when he saw that "every coward can kill a hero" easily, from distance.
It is very interesting that"raviojla" (reads "ravioyla") means "Beautiful girl" in Celtic languages, though songs were made after 14th century, when nearest Celts were many thousands of miles away.

 Clarence A. Manning - MARKO, THE KINGS SON - Bibliography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
NOTE — the tales and legends dealing with Marko Kralyevich exist to-day in a long series of independent works which are at times contradictory in names, in localities, and in culture.
The author has aimed to bring together a selection of this material, so that it will give a picture of the life and character of the great Balkan hero as the highest imagination of his people conceives him.
For this purpose the author has not hesitated to omit details (very few in number) which are in glaring contradiction to the character of Marko as the ballad writers generally picture him.

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.
While contributing little to resolving the mystery of his legend, this well-executed portrait, with its piercing, inquisitive eyes, suggests a man of character and courage.
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.

 The Lecturer's Tale-- book review
For instance, he can't resist the lit crit inside joke; the most cringe-worthy occurs when the Serbian theorist Marko Kraljevic (a stand-in for Slovenian theorist Slavoj Zizek) confronts Nelson in the library.
Kraljevic approves, declaring "You de Man, Nelson!" It's a terrible pun, one that only those familiar with the ex-Nazi literary critic Paul de Man would understand, but it is also one that expands the character of the hyper-theorist Kraljevic by illustrating his triple menace.
There is the physical menace of the crazy, violent Serb, the threat to the literary studies and literature that the never-quiet theorist represents, and the poverty of the wordplay and allusiveness that passes for postmodern scholarship.

 Europe as culture. Epic and the dephts of history (4): An epic hero, Royal Marko
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.
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.

 Marko Kraljevic --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
When his father, King Vukašin, was slain in battle with the Turks in 1371, Marko succeeded him as a vassal to the sultan.
He is known to have completed a monastery at Sušica, near Skopje, and to have died fighting 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

I still remember the achievements of Marko Kraljevic (his surname means The Prince) who was able to do amazing things due to his strength, and how he drinks half of his wine and gives the other half to his horse.
Of course, a world of exaggeration, created by a nation that was suffering four centuries of occupation and desperately needed heroes from the past like Marko Kraljevic.
And of course, the world of reality, created by a nation proud enough to resist all these four centuries through rebells like Vujadin, who died for their ideals.

The feudal army commander, Vuk Brankovic, became that indispensable sacrificial goat which is so necessary for the successful catharsis of a people.
However, the historical figure of the almost insignificant Kraljevic Marko, indisputably a Turkish vassal, was used in a more eloquent and useful way as the figure of the defeated but "resurrected" hero which was better than some outlaw hero few of which there could have been in that first period immediately after the defeat.
The defeated hero who conquers is a supplemental mythic variant of the wished-for avenger which enabled Kraljevic Marko in a changed role to be both useful and indispensable in preserving the national spirit of resistance.

 Battle of Kosovo by Seth Ward   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Here in my lap, 'tis there that thou didst grow, Torn from the tree thou wert, on Kossovo." Marko Kraljevich is celebrated by Albanians and Bulgarians as well as by Serbs, and legends explain mountain passes as the result of his swordplay and isolated boulders as balls tossed from the mountains while playing with giants.
Marko himself was reported to have awoken from his centuries-long slumber in a cave to have been seen by thousands of Serb soldiers leading them to victory over the Ottomans at Prilep in 1912.
The other players in this drama have retained their powerful reputations: Hunyadi and Skanderbeg are remembered as champions of Christianity, and a central square of the Albanian capital is named for Skanderbeg.

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.

His son, Stephen Uros V, lived until 1371, the year in which the Turks defeated a united Slav army at the battle of the Maritsa, but long before his death the Serbian Empire existed only in name with its territory disputed by feuding warlords.
Many of these warlords became vassals of the Turks, notably Marko Kraljevic of Prilep and Tsar Lazar of Kosovo fame.
Lazar ony revolted when the Sultan demanded that he take part in a Turkish campaign, and Lazar's son did actually take part in such a campaign, fighting heroically with a Serbian contingent against Tamburlaine in the battle of Ankara of 1402.

The article discusses examples from both types of language illustrating this claim.
The Croatian folk ballad Marko Kraljevic i brat mu Andrijas (Prince Marko and his brother Andrijas, first published in 1556) is used to illustrate the disappearance of the dual paradigm as a grammatical category of number and its replacement by the plural.
The lyrical poem Notturno by the Croatian poet Tin Ujevic', in which the lyrical subject is adressed with the sociative plural, illustrates the possibility of misinterpreting an implied dual form as a plural one.

Perharps, it was the eagerness to prove to the critics that Jurong without V Sundramoorthy, the inspirational player-coach who was suspended for the game, can still survive that they put up a gallant performance that halt the mini-resurgence of the struggling Balestier Central.
Good vision and well reading of the game of these Croatian pair proved to be an invaluable asset to the team, as the Jurong frontline split the vulnerable Tiger’s defence into sixes-sevens, not forgetting to mention the speedy surging runs from Korean Park Tae Won and young Nigerian Itimi Edherefe on the wings.
But it was the middle of the pitch, where most of the game’s exciting plays took place, where the match resumed in the 2nd half, starring Velimir Crljen as the sole performer after Kraljevic was replaced before the start of the 2nd half, to ensure there’s still sufficient ammunition to cripple the visitors’ backline.
