Encyclopedia > House of Nemanjic

Nemanjić (Serbian Немањић; also Nemanjid) was a medieval Serb ruling dynasty.


The dynasty was named after Stefan Nemanja, though it began shortly before him. It gave sixteen Serbian monarchs between 1166 and 1371.


The family crest was a bicephalic argent eagle on a red shield, inherited from the Byzantine Paleologus dynasty.

He acquired dynastic legitimacy by marrying Milica Nemanjic, and despite retaining only the minor title of knez, he nevertheless used the imperial name of 'Stefan' as well as the designation "autocrator".
At the same time, he took no issue with Bosnian ban Tvrtko (whose Nemanjic lineage was in any case much stronger than Lazar's) proclaiming himself "King Stefan of Serbs and Bosnia".
Milica was a daughter of Prince Vratko (кнез Вратко), who was a great-grandson of Vukan Nemanjic.
