  Stefan Uroš I of Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stefan Uroš was the youngest son of Stefan Prvovenčani and Anna, the daughter of Enrico Dandolo, Doge of Venice.
The reign of Stefan Uroš I coincided with the decline of Serbia's primary rivals in the Balkans, Epirus and Bulgaria.
A peace treaty was signed between the two kingdoms, and Stefan Uroš's son Stefan Dragutin was married to Catherine (Katalin), the daughter of the future king Stephen V of Hungary.

 Stefan Uroš V of Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stefan Uroš V Nejaki ("The Weak"), (Serbian: Стефан Урош V нејаки) (1336–1371) was king of Serbia (1346–1355) as co-ruler of his father Stefan Uroš IV Dušan and then emperor (tsar) (1355-1371).
Stefan Uroš V was the only son of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan by Helena of Bulgaria, the sister of Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria.
Stefan Uroš V died childless in December 1371, after much of the Serbian nobility had been destroyed by the Turks in the Battle of Marica earlier that year.

Serbian Rulers - Stefan Uros I (1243 - 1276)
To be sure, the regional and international situation had objectively changed as well, as Uros I acceded to the throne in the wake the Tatar invasions; their devastation affected all of southeastern Europe, but was more pronounced in Hungary and (in particular) Bulgaria.
Uros I was overthrown in 1276 by his elder son Dragutin; he was allowed to retire to a monstery in Zahumlje, where he became monk Simeon, and died a couple of years later.

 Serbian Rulers - Stefan Uros, Emperor (1355-1371)
Known in the epic tradition as Uros "the Weak", he was not capable of keeping his father's empire intact.
Emperor Uros was ultimately forced to divide his power with the most powerful among the Serbian noblemen - Vukasin Mrnjavcevic, the master of northern and eastern Macedonia - giving him the title of king and the rights of a co-ruler in 1365.
While the fact that Uros was childless (eldest sons being the traditional junior rulers in the Nemanjic monarchy), coupled with political necessities, probably mandated the selection of a ruling colleague and heir apparent, 1365 in some sense marks a precedent and an end to the Nemanjic empire as traditionally understood until then.

 Prologue to Kosovo: The Era of Prince Lazar
His son, Stefan Uros III Decanski (1321-1331), extended Serbian dominion over most of the Vardar Valley; and his grandson, Stefan Dusan, pushed his armies all the way to the Gulf of Corinth.
Uros, who was childless and had no success in maintaining central authority in the short-lived Serbian Empire, apparently recognized in Vukasin his own successor.
Stefan and his brother Vuk pointed out to their mother that it was shameful that the relics of their father were not preserved in the Church of Ravanica.

 The Balkan Slavs, a history.
Stefan Nemanja’s son Ratso chose a monastic life at the age of seventeen.
A major victory in 1330 by Stefan Uros III Decanski and his son Stefan Dusan over a combined Byzantine and Bulgarian army enabled Serbia to extend its borders from the Danube to the Bay of Corinth and from the Aegean to the Adriatic, controlling a greater region than the Byzantine Empire.
During their migrations the Slavs were organized on a tribal basis, and it was not until the ninth century that the tribes were combined into a loose confederation of states, each led by an elected Zhupan, who in turn gave his nominal allegiance to a Grand Zhupan.

Forced to rebel against his father by an aggressive nobility in 1314, Stefan was defeated, blinded and exiled, to be pardoned and returned only towards the end of Milutin's rule, in 1320.
In terms of foreign policy, notable are Stefan's dealings on the southwestern, Adriatic front, where dynastic struggles and disloyalty of peripheral nobles were opportunistically exploited by the Bosnian ban Stjepan - who annexed the Hum area - as well as the Dubrovnik Republic.
Stefan's pious demeanor and life of considerable hardship made him a martyr in the eyes of the Church, and he was later canonized; his feast day is Nov. 24 (11 by Julian calendar), and in the gallery of patron saints of Serbian families (Krsna slava) he is also represented.

A feeling of despair permeated Lazar's lands after the prince's death and, conscious of the need to combat pessimism in Serbia and create hope for a bright future, the monastic authors of the day wrote eulogies and sermons in praise of Lazar in which they interpreted the events of the time for their own contemporaries.

With the Serbs, monasticism sprang up when Saint Sava, the youngest son of Stefan Nemanja and still the greatest Serbian monastic authority, went to the Holy Mountain to undergo tonsure and receive the monastic name of Sava.
The Serbian monasticism was established through the monasteries of Chilandar and Studenica, the foundations of Stefan Nemanja (Saint Simeon) and Archbishop Sava (Saint Sava) respectively.
It is justly supposed that the masons came to Studenica from the coastal region, perhaps Kotor where Stefan Nemanja used to have a palace.
