    I haven't heard much from the Macedonians that originate from Egej about this, suprising because Marko's kingdom often included territories like Kostur and Lerin.

      Not heard anything that I am aware of.
      My gut feeling is that sort of folklore and oral history was well and truly shut down once Macedonian culture was downgraded to something inferior to the mythical orgasm that is Hellenism.

        Exactly right, at least the MTO allows Macedonians to get back in touch with the tradition and culture that they were forced to forget.

I used google translate to convert the original and fixed the wording up a little, if there is anyone who can read Croatian or Serbian and would like to have a go at translating them better, let us know.
          I read somewhere that Orbini wrote that Volkasin was titled as "Rex Imperator Sclavoniae".

            It's possible TM, because its a long text I haven't went through the whole thing, although I thought I covered all the aspects relating to Marko's family, I may have missed some things.

                Boril's Synodicon

                Hey SoM, recently i reed some new information for me about King Volkasin. He was named as a Macedonian King in the Synodicon of the bulgarian tsra Boril. I thought it is good to post this information here.
                Here is the link where i reed this:

                Во Скопје во 1349 Стефан Душан издава свој Законик, кој, за жал, во оригинал не е зачуван, зачуван, меѓутоа зачувани се само десетина преписи и од таму добиваме информации за оваа историска личност.



                And this is a link about the Synodicon of Boril:



                203


                down to John Sisman. The entries acquire a poignant tone toward the second half of the fourteenth century, as they proclaim "eternal remembrance" for those who died fighting the Turkish marauders. Most touching is the mention of Kera Tamara, daughter of King John Alexander, who was given as "fiancee" to the Sultan Amurat, "for the sake of the Bulgarian people." The Synodicon also mentions the Macedonian King Vulkasin and his brother Uglesa, who died at the battle of the Marica in 1371, as well as "others who showed bravery against the godless Turks and shed their blood for the Orthodox faith."

                  Seen this on another thread, thanks for posting it here Astibo. If you happen to come across the actual text, let us know. That first link also has some other interesting information.

                    It seems that in the last period there are many new facts presented about the middle ages concerning Macedonia. It seems that the Serbs of that time conquered the Macedonian lands from the Byzantines with great help from the Macedonian nobility and church. It is interesting to mention that before the battle between the Macedonian nobles and Serbs on Kosovo, Serbians tried to make Macedonian regions like Polog in to serbian. Maybe that was the reason for the battle on Kosovo.
