king or See also:prince, Vukashin (d. 1371). Chagrined at not himself becoming king after his See also:father's See also:death, he headed a revolt against the new ruler of the Servians. Later he passed into the service of the See also:sultan of See also:Turkey, and was killed in See also:battle about 1394. Marko, however, is more celebrated in See also:legend than in See also:history. He is regarded as the personification of the Servian See also:race, and stories of strength and wonder have gathered See also:round his name. He is supposed to have lived for 300 years, to have ridden a See also:horse 15o years old, and to have used his enormous See also:physical strength against oppressors, especially against the See also:Turks. He is a See also:great figure in Servian See also:poetry, and his deeds are also told in the epic poems of the Rumanians and the Bulgarians. One tradition relates how he retired from the See also:world owing to the See also:advent of firearms, which, he held, made strength and valour of no See also:account in battle. See also:Goethe regards Marko as the See also:counter-See also:part of See also:Hercules and of the See also:Persian Rustem.
The Servian poems about him were published in 1878; a See also:German See also:translation by See also:Gruber (Marko, der Konigssohn) appeared at See also:Vienna in 1883.
