Abstract
The aim of this text is to draw attention to instances of Marian devotion displayed by members of Serbian royal families in late medieval Balkans, in the period between 12th and 15th century and the days of the Nemanjic and Lazarevic dynasties. Particular attention will be assigned to those related by Serbian medieval written sources and, in particular, vitae texts of Serbian rulers. Based on these examples, this text discusses the intertwining of official and private aspects of Marian devotion among members of ruling families in the Balkans and the Byzantine cultural sphere, from Komnenian times on, as well as models of expressing Marian piety which span and bring together both the Western and Eastern Christian devotional practice of the era.
