Stefan Uroš V was the second Emperor of the Serbian Empire, ruling from 1355 until his death in 1371. As the only son of Emperor Stefan Dušan, he had served as a co-ruler and king since 1346. Often referred to in historical accounts and folk traditions as Uroš the Weak, his reign was characterized by the gradual fragmentation of the empire into various principalities. Despite the political instability and the loss of central authority, he is remembered for his modest and tolerant nature.
