Stefan Dušan
Stefan Dušan, also known as Dušan the Mighty, was a significant medieval Serbian ruler who reigned from 1331 to 1355. He expanded the Serbian Empire to its greatest territorial extent, encompassing regions that are now part of Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Greece, and more. Dušan is best known for the Dušan's Code, a comprehensive legal framework that established a unified legal system and administrative order in Serbia. His reign marked a pinnacle of Serbian power and cultural development, and he was crowned emperor in 1346, aiming to emulate the Byzantine emperors. Dušan's sudden death in 1355 led to the fragmentation of the empire and the decline of the Nemanjić dynasty, making him a symbol of both national pride and a bygone era of Serbian greatness.
