Serbian Nobility (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Serbian nobility was the privileged order or class of Serbia in the Middle Ages and Early Modern times. The first nobles of greater status was those in the 9th and 10th century, who were connected to the royal family by marriage. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the nobility greatly expanded, and in the Serbian Empire lavish titles were given in the Byzantine order. With the fall of Serbia in the 15th century, Serbian nobility survived in Montenegro, and in the Austro-Hungarian lands. In the 19th century, with the liberation from the Ottoman turks, a new nobility based out of warriors and other wealthy intelligentsia emerged.
