THE MRNYAVCHEVICH DYNASTY

The medieval feudal lords and dynasty Mrnyavchevich is known under that name from later sources, from the 15th century onwards. Unlike historical sources, the oral tradition often mentions them either as totally negative or totally positive characters. Brothers Vukashin and Uglyesha were portrayed as greedy feudal lords and usurpers, while Vukashin’s son Marko (the Prince) became the Serbian national hero.
