Krali Marko was a Bulgarian independent feudal lord in Macedonia from 1371-1395.
Marko is venerated as a national hero by the western Bulgarians from Macedonia and later by the Serbs and is also the protagonist of many Bulgarian and Serbian epic poems. Folklore came to remember him as a respected protector and savior of the Christians during the period of early Ottoman Turkish occupation of Bulgarian lands in Macedonia.
Marko ruled an area corresponding roughly to the western half of the present-day Republic of Macedonia, the adjacent areas of Kastoria and Florina in present-day Greece, and the area of Korçë in Albania. His capital was at Prilep. His father was a Serbian feudal ruler called Vukašin , from the medieval Serbian House of Mrnjavcevic, and his mother was Evrosia, sister of the Bulgarian Voivode Momchil, who ruled territories in the Rhodope Mountains. After king Vukašin died in 1371, fighting against the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Maritsa, Marko became an Ottoman vassal and later died with Serb ruler Konstantin Dragaš at the Battle of Rovine, fighting the Vlachs, in 1395.
According to the Bulgarian legends, at the birth of Krali Marko, three narecnitsi (fate-fairies) appeared and foretold that he would become a hero and replace his father, the king. When king Volkašin heard this he threw his son in a basket in the river to get rid of him. But a samodiva (also called samovila) named Vila found Marko and brought him up, becoming his foster mother. Because Marko suckled the samodiva's milk, he acquired supernatural powers. As in Serbian epic poetry, he is portrayed as a freedom fighter against the Turks. He has a winged horse, called Sharkolia (meaning Dappled) and a stepsister — the samodiva Gyura. The Bulgarian legends incorporate important fragments of pagan Slavic mythology and beliefs, even though the Bulgarian folk epos was created as late as 14-18th century. Bulgarian epic tales, including those about Krali Marko, are found mainly in the south-western part of the country.
