Serbian Monarch. He created and was the only ruler of the Serbian Empire. Under his rule Serbia reached its territorial peak and was one of the larger states in Europe. Apart from territorial gains, in 1349 and 1354 he made and enforced Dušan's Code. He is also the only ruler from the house of Nemanjiæ not canonized as a saint. Dušan was the greatest Serb medieval ruler, under whom incredible impulse and strength of Serbs have expressed. He was buried in his monastery of Holy Archangels in Prizren but after the Turkish conquest, the monastery was destroyed. Following the excavations of monastery site in early XX century the remains of what is believed to be emperor's body were brought to Saint Mark's church in Belgrade.
