About knez Lazar Pribinić

Lazar Hrebeljanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Лазар Хребељановић; c. 1329 – 15 June 1389) was a medieval Serbian ruler who created the largest and most powerful state on the territory of the disintegrated Serbian Empire. Lazar's state, referred to by historians as Moravian Serbia, comprised the basins of the Great Morava, West Morava, and South Morava rivers. Lazar ruled Moravian Serbia from 1373 until his death in 1389. He sought to resurrect the Serbian Empire and place himself at its helm, claiming to be the direct successor of the Nemanjić dynasty, which went extinct in 1371 after ruling over Serbia for two centuries. Lazar's programme had the full support of the Serbian Orthodox Church, but the Serbian nobility did not recognize him as their supreme ruler. He is often referred to as Tsar Lazar Hrebeljanović (Serbian: Цар Лазар Хребељановић / Car Lazar Hrebeljanović); however, he only held the title of prince (Serbian: кнез / knez).

STEFAN LAZAR Hrebljanović, son of PRIBAC Hrebeljanović & his wife --- (Priljebac, near Novo Brdo [1329]-executed Kosovo 15 Jun 1389, bur Ravanica Monastery). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. After his marriage, he left the Serbian court in [1363] for his lands on the Ibar, South Morava and West Morava rivers, based at Kruševac[343]. Allied with Tvrtko Ban of Bosnia, he defeated Nikola Altomanović, nominal Knez of Hum, in 1373 and captured his lands in eastern Hum, including the mines of Rudnik[344]. He negotiated peace with the Patriarch of Constantinople in 1375 by renouncing the right of the Serbs to hold the imperial title, in return confirmation of the Serbian church's autocephalous state[345]. He acquired Braničevo and Kučevo in 1379. “Lazarus, Serborum imperator” donated to “monasterio Ždrelo” by charter dated 1 Aug 1380[346]. He was appointed Ban of Mačva by Lajos King of Hungary before 1381. By a careful policy of matrimonial alliances, he was able to group the most influential local Serbian chiefs to fight the Turks jointly, from which time he could be said to have become Prince of Serbia. The Ottomans captured Niš in 1386, and launched a major campaign against Serbia in 1388 when Lazar refused Ottoman suzerainty[347]. He allied himself with Trvtko King of Bosnia and Vuk Branković against the Ottomans, but was captured at the battle of Kosovo 15 Jun 1389, in which the bulk of both armies was wiped out. The Historia Epiri records that "Amuratus et Lazarus" were killed in Jun 1389[348]. A charter records the death of “Stephanus Lazarus, Serborum imperator” 15 Jun 1389[349]. He was executed after being brought before Sultan Bayezid I. Ruy Gonzalez de Clavijo records that "Ilderim Bayazid avenged the death of his father by killing Count Lazaro in battle with his own hand"[350]. The battle became the subject of Serbian epics from the 17th century[351].

m ( [1353] ) MILICA, daughter of --- (-11 Nov 1405). An undated inscription, dated to after 1405, “in Ljubostinja” names “Milica, imperatoris Lazari uxor”[352]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[353], she was MILICA Nemanjić, daughter of Knez VRATKA Nemanjić, but this alleged descent appears to have been fabricated by later chronicles[354]. She was regent in Serbia after the death of her husband for her son until he reached the age of majority in 1393[355].
She became a nun as JEVGENIJA[356]. “Eugenia monacha cum filiis knez Stephano et fratre eius Vlk” issued a charter relating to “monasterii Russorum” dated 8 Jun 1395[357]. “Stephanus, Serborum despotes, cum matre Milica et fratre Vlk” donated property to “monasterio Chilandar” by charter dated to [1403/05][358]. A charter records the death of “Milica, Serborum imperatrix, monacha Euphrosina” 11 Nov 1405[359], although the reference to “Euphrosina” appears to be an error for “Eugenia” as Milica is recorded with the latter monacal name with her two sons Stefan and Vuk (see below).

Stefan Lazar & his wife had eight children: 



Лазар Хребелянович, ймовірно, народився в 1329 році в замку Прилепац (Prilepac) поблизу міста Ново-Брдо. Батько Лазара був суддею короля Стефана Душана в Прізрені. У той час, коли Стефана Душана було короновано імператором, Лазар мав 17 років. Володіння Хребеляновичів були невеликими: тільки замок Приліпац (де народився Лазар) та місто Прізрен. У 1353 році Лазар одружився з донькою князя Вратка Неманича. Після раптової смерті царя Стефана Душана (Неманича) 20 грудня 1355 року, Лазар був присутній на похоронах Стефана, якого поховали у мавзолеї Святих Архангелів у місті Прізрен. Загинув після того, як пораненим потрапив у полон під час битви на Косовому полі 1389 року.
