Miloš was the eldest son of Vojin, a vojvoda (general) that served King Stefan Dečanski and King Stefan Dušan and held the title of knez of Hum. Vojin was one of the more powerful nobles of King Stefan Dečanski, while his sons were in Young King Dušan's circle.[1] When a conflict occurred between the King and his son, Dušan, however, Vojin and other noblemen joined the Young King Dušan (1330–31). Vojin's support of Dušan further elevated the Vojinović family.[2]

Legacy
Serbian epic poetry
In Serbian epic poetry Miloš is celebrated as a central hero, most notably in the famous Wedding of Emperor Dušan. He is depicted as the youngest of the three Vojinović brothers, as a carefree and cheerful soul rejecting his noble background to be a shepherd in the Šar Mountains. Though carefree and simple-minded, Miloš is depicted as one of the strongest warriors in Dušan's empire and as being very strategic and adept in battle.[6] It is believed that there once existed an entire epic cycle dedicated to Miloš, however the poems did not survive to when Vuk Stefanović Karadžić began documenting Serbian epics in 1814.[7] Miloš is the central character in the following epic poems:
Wedding of Emperor Dušan (Женидба Душанова) (recorded by Vuk Karadžić 1814)
Miloš Vojinović and the Fiery Lions (Милош Војиновић и лави огњени) (recorded by Bogoljub Petranović 1870)
Miloš Vojinović and the Duke of Kotor (Оклада) (recorded by Sima Milutinović 1837)
