The Battle of Kosovo in literature and arts
In his 1603 work Richard Knolles describes the "country songs" of Serbs about the betrayal of Branković during the Battle of Kosovo.[1]
In 1618 Thomas Goffe wrote a drama The Courageous Turk in which Battle of Kosovo is one of the central topics.[2]
The bugarštice about the Battle of Kosovo were sang in Perast. The earliest written records of these songs which included a drama about the Battle of Kosovo were discovered in the Perast manuscript written at the end of the 17th century.[3]
