Marko Mrnjavčević ( sr-Cyrl, Марко Мрњавчевић, ; – 17 May 1395) was the ''de jure'' Serbian king from 1371 to 1395, while he was the '' de facto'' ruler of territory in western Macedonia centered on the town of Prilep. He is known as Prince Marko (; sr-Cyrl, Краљевић Марко, ''Kraljević Marko'', ) and King Marko (; sr-Cyrl, Краљ Марко; ) in South Slavic oral tradition, in which he has become a major character during the period of Ottoman rule over the Balkans. Marko's father, King Vukašin, was co-ruler with Serbian Tsar Stefan Uroš V, whose reign was characterised by weakening central authority and the gradual disintegration of the Serbian Empire. Vukašin's holdings included lands in north-western Macedonia and Kosovo. In 1370 or 1371, he crowned Marko "young king"; this title included the possibility that Marko would succeed the childless Uroš on the Serbian throne. On 26 September 1371, Vukašin was killed and his forces de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Life Andrea was a member of the Albanian Gropa family.

župan
Župan is a noble and administrative title used in several states in Central Europe, Central and Southeast Europe, Southeastern Europe between the 7th century and the 21st century. It was (and in Croatia still is) the leader of the administrative unit župa (or zhupa, županija). The term in turn was adopted by the Hungarians as ''ispán'' and spread further.

People From Ohrid Municipality
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Serbs Of North Macedonia
The Serbs are one of the constitutional ethnic groups of North Macedonia (, sr-Cyrl-Latn, Срби у Северној Македонији, Srbi u Severnoj Makedoniji), numbering about 24,000 inhabitants (2021 census). Historical overview Serbia became for the first time independent under Časlav ca. 930, only to fall ca. 960 under Byzantine, later under Bulgarian and then again under Byzantine rule. From the end of the 11th to the end of the 13th century, the Serbian rulers made several attempts to penetrate into the region and briefly conquered its northernmost territories. In fact the whole of today North Macedonia was taken for the first time by medieval Serbia, during the 1280s. The territory of today's North Macedonia was part of the Serbian Kingdom and Empire to the Battle of Kosovo (1389) when it was conquered by the Ottomans. The South Slavic Orthodox people now lived under a foreign, Muslim power, in whose eyes all Orthodox people were regarded part of the Rum Mi ...
