Mythical vs. historic Lazar
Seems like this leans quite heavily on the mythical perceptions of Lazar, as opposed to relying on the historical record. Which is not to say that the folk myth isn't an important aspect of Lazar, but maybe there should be two sections dealing with the historical figure vs. the legend. Because frankly the historical record isn't really all that scarce, it's just been overwhelmed by the hagiographic songs written in his own court after his death. I don't mind writing this but would like to first get some consensus before plunging into an edit war. Also, not sure if "Prince" is the correct translation of "Knez". Perhaps that should be clarified, as well as noting that the mythical Lazar often assumes the title of "Tsar".
