In Serbian epic poetry, Milan Toplica (Toplica Milan, Milan from Toplica) was a Serbian knight that died during the historical Battle of Kosovo in 1389.[1]
According to folk songs, he was born in the Toplica region and was a sworn brother (in Serbian: pobratim) to Miloš Obilić and Ivan Kosančić, and had before the battle promised himself to a girl, the Kosovo Maiden, who that after the battle found Pavle Orlović and heard about the fate of Milan and his sworn brothers, according to a Serbian epic poem recorded and published in the early 19th century by Vuk Karadžić. Honours and titles attributed to him, differ from area to area with the folk songs recorded by Karadžić calling him a duke.[2] In the cycle of Marko Kraljević he is known to hold the title of bajraktar, while Obilić is a vojvode and Kosančić a privenac.[3]
