	Prince Lazar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reliable historical accounts of this battle are scarce, and they've been largely displaced in the Serbian tradition by the epic poetry, which tell a grossly distorted picture of the events, such as the branding of Vuk Brankovic as a traitor.
		The Serbian force was composed chiefly of Lazar's army, flanked by the troops of Vuk Brankovic and Bosnian ban Tvrtko (commanded by fierce duke Vlatko Vukovic).
		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.

	Kosovo Battle
		That is why the territories of Prince Lazar and Vuk could not come directly under the rule of the Turkish government, while the territories of Dragas or Vukasin's sons were not transformed into Turkish sanjaks, in 1395.
		A few decades earlier, a Serbian Despot, whose territories were approximately that of Prince Lazar and Vuk Brankovic's territories, in a plan for the defence of Hungary against Turkish attacks, had an obligation to raise 8.000 cavalrymen, while the Bosnian King and three feudal lords gave 9.000 cavalrymen.
		Vuk Brankovic remained in his own country and didn't reconcile with the Turks up to 1392, so it could be concluded that the battle result hadn't been questioned.

	The Kosovo Chronicles, by Dusan Batakovic (Part 1b)
		Vuk Brankovic, unjustly remembered in epic tradition as a traitor who slipped away from the battle field, resisted them until 1392, when he was forced to become their vassal.
		Stefan appointed as his successor his nephew despot Djuradj Brankovic, whose rule was marked by fresh conflicts and finally the fall of Kosovo and Metohia to the Turks.
		This was probably due to the devastation wrought by Turks who destroyed the old landed estates, thus allowing for the mobile among the population, including ethnic Albanian cattlemen, to settle on the abandoned land and establish their settlements, which were neither big nor heavily populated.

		There is the traitorous Vuk Brankovic, who withdraws his troops at a crucial moment, leaving the badly outnumbered Serbs overwhelmed by the Ottoman army.
		The key figure, once again, is Vuk Karadzic, the “founder of modern Serbian culture,”[18] although his ultimate importance in the construction of the modern Kosovo myth lies not in the actual poems he collected but rather in the process that that collection represented.
		And if Vuk's archival structures did not adequately embrace the actual material he collected, this was largely beside the point, as a generation of nationalist writers would fill in the gaps and inscribe a newer, cleaner memory.

		It was written in a hardly comprehensible language, but it had a significant influence on the development of Serbian historiography and political thought in the eighteenth century.
		The greatest advocate of this great national movement was Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic (1787-1864), reformer of the literary language, the codifier of the oral tradition, a historian and ethnologist.
		Born in the village of Trsic near Loznica, into a family which had resettled from Old Herzegovina in the first half of the eighteenth century, Vuk attained an exceptional knowledge of the language, poetry and customs of the common people during his childhood and youth.

		The Balsici ruled in Zeta; Vuk Brankovic was lord of Kosovo and the surrounding regions; and King Tvrtko maintained his control over a significant amount of Serbian territory.
		A number of scholars have argued on the basis of certain fragmentary evidence that Vuk Brankovic was not independent at all but rather recognized Lazar as his sovereign.
		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.

		When Vukosava told this to her husband, he immediately sought out Vuk, showered him with many insults, and challenged him to a duel to see if what his wife had said was true.
		He swore to Vuk with God at his right hand that if Vuk did not reprimand Vidosava, then when they were on the field of Kosovo he would grab him by the belt, pull him from his saddle, and throw him from hand to hand under his horse like a lamb between wolves.

		Nor would it explain why Vuk Brankovic, the supposed villain of Kosovo, did not submit until years after Lazarevic did.
		Militsa favored her son Stefan as heir to Lazar and leader of what remained of the Serbian nation; Stefan's main rival for that position was Vuk Brankovic, who had been an ally of Lazar and was married to his daughter.
		The epic poetry (although oral, not written) was born out of this tradition, so Christian symbolism was not just a habit but in a sense built into the language.
