Summary

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the meteoric rise and sudden collapse of the Serbian Empire under Stefan Dušan the Mighty. They discuss how Dušan exploited Byzantine civil wars to conquer vast territories, his proclamation as Emperor in 1346, and the legal code Dušan's Zakonik that sought to unify his realm. The episode examines the fragile coalition of nobles, the role of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and the empire's unraveling after Dušan's death in 1355. Specific details include the Battle of Velbazhd (1330), the conquests of Macedonia, Epirus, and Thessaly, and the tensions between central authority and regional magnates. The conversation also touches on Dušan's ambition to lead a crusade against the Ottomans and how internal divisions paved the way for Ottoman dominance in the Balkans.
