Jugović brothers
The Jugovic brothers (Serbian: Браћа Југовићи / Braća Jugovići), or Nine Jugović (Serbian: Девет Југовића / Devet Jugovića), commonly known as the Jugovići (Serbian Cyrillic: Југовићи), the nine sons of Jug Bogdan (Vratko Nemanjić), are popular mythological characters of Serbian epic poetry. In poems, the Jugović brothers and their blood brother Miloš Obilić fight to their death in the Battle of Kosovo (1389), dying as heroes.[1] This is based on mythology, in which Miloš Obilić and other knights lost their life "in glory as martyrs".[1] One of the earliest accounts of the battle was the Florentine chancellor Coluccio Salutati (died 1406) who described twelve Christian noblemen who broke through the Ottomans, one of whom killed the Sultan (in later accounts, that knight was identified as Miloš Obilić).[2]
The brothers have been depicted in the arts, such as by Croatian painter Mirko Rački,[3] Serbian painter Adam Stefanović, and on a mosaic in the Tronoša Monastery,[4] which is popularly associated with the Jugovići.[5]
The Serbian Church awards an order[citation needed] to mothers of more than four children, named after the mother of the Jugović brothers.[6]
