History

Since 1334,

Vardarian Macedonia, centered in Prilep.^[8]

King Marko remained effective ruler only in the region of Prilep,

Dibër to Andrea Gropa and Andrea II Muzaka

.

Since he became a

Marko Mrnjavčević was obligated to answer to the sultan's call in 1395 and take part in the Battle of Rovine where he was killed.^[11]^[12] The Turks took the opportunity to conquer the region of Prilep, adding its territory to the Sanjak of Ohrid

.

Since Marko, who styled himself as Serbian King, did not reduce his title to Prilep or any other local town or region, historians have used various terms for his domain. In Serbian historiography, it is called simply: the Lordship of King Marko (Serbian: Област краља Марка)^[13] or the Domain of King Marko (Serbian: Држава краља Марка).^[14]
