  Miloš Obilić - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In folk epic and legends, Miloš was celebrated as the hero of supernatural birth and strength (his mother was a fairy, demonic creature or his father was a dragon; he had got his strength from the milk of the mare).
Other variants of songs and legends state that Miloš was captured by a demonic creature similar to a witch, or old woman ("baba"), who advised the Turks how to kill Miloš's horse and find the keys of his armour, which were hidden in his moustashes.
This deed was proclaimed as Miloš Obilić's innermost desire to pay tribute to his people and to sacrifice himself in order to strike a blow against tyranny and the Christian fight against Islam.

 The Battle of Kosovo, 1999 [Archive] - Military Photos
The first writer to give the name of Murad's assassin was Konstantin Mihailovic from Ostrovica who wrote his Memoirs of a Janissary or Turkish Chronicle about 1497.[46] His description of the Battle of Kosovo was intended as an example of what happens when disloyalty rules the day.
Lazar remains the most important figure in this description of the battle, but Mihailovic identifies "Milos Kobila"[47] as the assassin of Murad and gives careful consideration to the "disloyalty of evil people." His work reveals some of the legendary motifs about Kosovo in the very early stages of their development.
Popovic believes that Milos and the story of the assassination came from the Turkish tradition.
