1348 CE to 1359 CE

Stefan Dushan, the greatest of the Nemanjic kings, consolidates the Serbian kingdom under his rule, conquering lands extending from Belgrade to present-day southern Greece and very nearly realizing his ambition to found a new Serbo-Greek empire.

The only man who might be able to prevent the rapid expansion of the Turks into the Balkans, he dies in 1354 at forty-seven.
