a poetku vladavine Stefana Uroa V

Nejakog monetarna politika bila je po
uzoru na onu iz vremena cara Duana da
bi kasne, kao i upravljanje dravom, bila
preputena drugima. Od dinara sa imenom
cara Uroa prelo se na kovanje novca sve
loeg kvaliteta jer su namesnici oblasti koji
su kontrolisali rudnike poveavali svoju dobit
na raun kvaliteta kovanica. Kovan je sve vie
novac sa novim predstavama i nejasnim ili
potpuno nerazumljivim tekstom.
Kako je kralj Vukain postao zvanini
savladar, oblasni gospodari nisu se usuivali
da kuju novac samo sa svojim imenom, plaei
se njegove vojne intervence, pa su na prvim
vrstama kovanica uz svoje stavljali i carevo
ime. Takav novac kovali su Rastislalii, despot
Ugljea i kralj Vukain.

t the beginning of the reign of Emperor

Stefan Uro V the Feeble, monetary
policy followed the policy model from the time
of Emperor Duan, but later, just like governing
the country, it was ceded to others. Instead of
dinars bearing the name of Emperor Uro, coins
of diminishing quality were being minted,
because the regents of regions in charge of the
mines increased their profit at the expense of
the coins quality. Coins with new images and
unclear or completely illegible inscriptions were
being minted increasingly. Since King Vukain
became an official co-ruler, regional regents,
fearing his military intervention, did not dare
mint the coins bearing only their names, but
instead put the emperors name next to their
own in the first types of coins. Such coins were
minted by the family of Rastislalis, Despot
Ugljea and King Vukain.

Obverse: King wearing a dome-shaped crown,
seated on the throne. In his right hand he is holding

ro Nejaki je jedini sin cara Duana koji preuzima upravu nad Rakom posle oeve smrti. U
komadanju drave neiskusnog i mladog vladara aktivni su ne samo domaa vlastela nego i
susedi. U borbi da sauva dravu ima i ponekog uspeha, odupire se napadima Ugara i osvajakim
ambicama Jovana Kantakuzena. Domai namesnici se pretvaraju u oblasne gospodare: Balii
u Zeti, Nikola Altomanovi preuzima oblast
svoga strica Vojislava Vojnovia, knez Lazar
Hrebeljanovi je na elu oblasti tru Morava,
despot Ugljea Mrnjavevi dri Sersku oblast a
Vukain, Ugljein stari brat, uspeva da od Uroa
dobe titulu kralja Rake. U braku sa vlakom
princezom Anom ne imao poroda. Stefan Uro
umire posle Marike bitke 1371. godine. Sahranjen
je u Nerodimlju, kod Uroevca, a njegove moti
su potom prenete
1705. u manastir
Jazak, 1942. u
Sabornu crkvu u
Beogradu a 2001.
ponovo su vraene
u manastir Jazak.

ro the Feeble is the only son of Emperor Duan, who assumed reign over Raka following
his fathers demise. The country of the inexperienced and young ruler was torn apart both
by domestic nobility and the neighbouring countries. In his struggle to preserve the country, Uro
the Feeble had occasional successes, fighting off the aacks of the Hungarians and thwarting the
territorial ambitions of Jovan Kantakuzen. Local regents, however, turned into regional rulers:
the family of Balis ruled in Zeta, Nikola Altomanovi took over the region of his uncle Vojislav
Vojnovi, Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovi was in
command over the region between the three
Morava Rivers, Despot Ugljea Mrnjavevi
held the region of Ser, and Vukain, Ugljeas
elder brother, succeeded in obtaining the title
of King of Raka from Uro the Feeble. Uros
marriage to Princess Ana of Vlaka produced
no offspring. Stefan Uro died in the aermath
Manastir Mateje na
of the bale of Maritsa, in 1371. He was buried
obroncima Skopske Crne
Gore, 13 km od Kumanova,
in Nerodimlje, near Uroevac, and his remains
zadubina cara Uroa V
were
subsequently transferred to the Monastery
Mateje monastery, Skopska
of Jazak in 1705 and to St. Michaels Cathedral
Crna Gora, 13 km from
Kumanovo, endowment of
in Belgrade in 1942, only to be transferred back
Emperor Uro V
to the Monastery of Jazak in 2001.

edmi i poslednji vladar loze Nemanjia Uro V poiveo je samo 34 godine. Nasledio je oca cara
Duana, carujui svega 15 godina. Ne bio slavoljubiv ve krotak i nezlobiv te su ga s pravom
nazvali nejakim jer ne eleo silom da se odupre bahatoj vlasteli koja se naglo obogatila u prethodnim
ratovima koje je vodio Duan Silni. Najozbiljni protivnik bio mu je Simeon Nemanji, Duanov
polubrat. Iako je celokupna srpska
vlastela i crkva stala na Uroevu
stranu, na dravnom saboru u
Skoplju 1357. godine Simeon je sebi
dodelio carske oznake i zavladao
Epirom i Tesalom. Ubrzo se
srpska drava podelila na dva
carstva: Uroevo
i
Simeonovo.
Uro je vladao u
veem delu koji je
obuhvatao sve stare
srpske zemlje.

of Emperor Uro V kept in the
blue reliquary

he seventh and the last ruler from the

Dynasty of Nemanji, Uro V died at the
age of 34. Having succeeded his father Duan,
he spent only 15 years at the throne. He was not
aspiring, but meek and benevolent, and was,
therefore, rightfully called The Feeble, because
he refused to fiercely oppose the overbearing
nobility which accumulated a lot of wealth
in the previous wars led by Emperor Duan
the Great. His bierest opponent was Simeon
Nemanji, Duans half-brother. Although the
entire Serbian nobility and the church sided
with Uro at the State Synod in Skopje in
1357, Simeon adorned himself with imperial
insignia and proclaimed himself
ruler of Epirus and Thessaly.
The Serbian state was
soon to be divided into
two empires: the empire
of Uro and the empire
of Simeon. Uro, however,
ruled over the larger part of
the country, which included all of
the old Serbian provinces.
