Prior to the war, Serbs had a nominal relationship of suzerainty with the Byzantine Empire; however, around the turn of the 11th century, Serbs waged a series of successful wars aimed at the complete independence of Serbia and termination of suzerain status. From the peaks of the "Illyrian Mountains" the Serbian troops ambushed and completely decimated the Byzantine force.

  • Prior to the war, Serbs had a nominal relationship of suzerainty with the Byzantine Empire; however, around the turn of the 11th century, Serbs waged a series of successful wars aimed at the complete independence of Serbia and termination of suzerain status. From the peaks of the "Illyrian Mountains" the Serbian troops ambushed and completely decimated the Byzantine force. They, unhindered, chased the Byzantines until they annihilated all but a few hundred of their men who were then captured, stripped naked, and allowed to escape to tell their comrades of the horrible defeat. Voislav dispatched 50 Greeks to tell the rest about the huge victory for the Serbs.
