District of Branković
The District of Branković (Serbian: Земља Бранковића / Zemlja Brankovića) or Vuk's Land (Serbian: Вукова земља / Vukova zemlja) was one of the medieval Serbian states that emerged from the collapse of the Serbian Empire in 1371. The founder of this realm was Vuk Branković, who would participate at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. After the battle, Branković would become one of the most powerful Serbian regional rulers.
