 Serbian Rulers - Stefan Nemanja (1168-1196)
Nemanja's rise to power comes sometime during 1166-8, first from the appanage of Dubocica (city of Leskovac), in the shadow of his elder brother Tihomir - a Byzantine appointee - and together with the two other brethren, Stracimir and Miroslav.
Not surprisingly, however, Nemanja's loyalty to the emperor did not survive the latter's death in 1180.
Nemanja's deeds as a practical earthly sovereign were matched by his religious fervor and faith, as evidenced, above all, by his numerous church foundations and other generous ecclesiastic donations.

In the history of the monastery of Djurdjevi Stupovi, the character of its founder, Stefan Nemanja, is presented; he is shown as tormented by his evil and unjust brothers because of his activities as a founder of monasteries.
Thus, Nemanja's successors were ensured the throne, and this theory remained the dominant conception of the state for all rulers in the Nemanjic dynasty.
Nemanja's theory of sovereignty was thus extended - all those who belonged to the military and feudal order were obliged to defend the faith, their nation and their country.

 History of Serbia and Montenegro
Under Stefan Dusan (reigned 1331-55), the ninth ruler in the dynasty, the Nemanjic empire attained its greatest extent, incorporating Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia, all of modern Albania and Montenegro, a substantial part of eastern Bosnia, and modern Serbia as far north as the Danube.
On the death of Stefan Dusan in 1355, the Nemanjic empire began to crumble, and its holdings were divided among the knez (prince) Lazar Hrebeljanovic, the short-lived Bosnian state of Tvrtko I (reigned 1353-91), and a semi-independent chiefdom of Zeta under the house of Balsa, with its capital at Skadar.
Stefan was succeeded by Ivan the Black, who, in the unlikely setting of this barren and broken landscape and pressed by advancing Ottoman armies, created in his court a remarkable if fragile centre of civilization.
