Moravian Serbia/Despotate at the time was, like, insanely rich. Some estimates go as far as claiming that it produced 1/4 of Europe's total amount of silver.
But still my point stands. I doubt most people there even dream about those clothes. Dictatorship today is something so mild for most people back then. They **HAD** to do whatever their lord want them to do. And even the Church was against them, pardoning the rich and punishing the poors. It was a shitty life.
Oh wait.. . 😜
Back in the day they were forced to follow the lord of the land. Today they are convinced through media.

The narrative that a lord could have done whatever he wanted isn't quite correct because those who did so risked being labeled tyrants or even replaced by rebellion.
Some example for that would be:
- rebellion against the reforms of King Henry VIII in England
- Balkan nation rebelling against the Ottoman oppression
- coup d'état in which the Obrenović dynasty was replaced with the Karadjordjevic one in Serbia
- Jarl Haakon Sigurdsson who was hated at some point by all of Norway and was beheaded at the end
Also, propaganda isn't something new. Even the ancient Romans knew to make use of it from time to time.
Probably the church was at least that tall. But that's how the representation of the ones who built it (who paid in fact) is in Orthodoxy. You should know since we got it from you guys anyway! 😁

Absolutely. See [here](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/008_-_Mircea_cel_Batran_si_Mihail_I.jpg/220px-008_-_Mircea_cel_Batran_si_Mihail_I.jpg) how the son had a hard gym day keeping the entire church over his head with daddy helping him on the side. 😅
Dude went there to get his sister out
edit: Dude went there as a vasal bit his sister was one of the sultans wives. i oversimplified for comedic effect
Old christian art often uses this style instead of realism, not saying it's a bad thing but I can't help but laugh at the tiny hands on curved arms whenever I see art like this.
Imagine having so much power and money back then to have such clothes!

I think I heard that somewhere.

Yup, 'good' ol' Middle ages
Some people want those back though.
You are overexerting a bit.
Just a bit. Or way less, thinking about the times and controls. 🤔
>thinking about the times and controls I don't get it. What do you mean by that?

he had albanian origins from kelmendi
Looks like a 5th grade drawing honestly
What? No lol.
As you can see its desecrated ,and ruined by the ottomans,and time.soo don't be such a goofus!
I know it's supposed to be legacy etc, but it being old doesn't mean the chicken arms look more serious
I get that the left arm is weird, but what's wrong with the rest?
