•  Serbian Despotate

  The Serbian Despotate was among the last Serbian states to be conquered by the Ottoman Empire. As the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 is generally considered as the end of the medieval Serbian state, Despotovina, the successor of the Serbian Empire and the state of prince Lazar survived for 70 more years, experiencing a cultural and political renaissance in the first half of the XV century before it was conquered by the Ottomans in 1459. Even then, it continued in Hungarian exile until the mid 1500's.
