This is a list of Serbia n monarchs. Notes:
RULERS OF MEDIEVAL SERBIAN STATES In the Middle Ages, the domain of the Serbs included four territories, roughly sorted by importance: Different dynasties sometimes arose from different regions, and this list concentrates on those rulers whose families at some point controlled Raška as well as other aforementioned duchies. Earliest rulers
After the Unknown Archont , two rulers who were possibly of a different dynasty ruled up to 680 : At this point, the Unknown Archont's descendance is probably continued with:
Vlastimirovići The House Of Vlastimirović controlled the Serbs between ca. 825 - 850 up to ca. 950 .
950 - 1035 Byzantine rule Vojislavljevići The House Of Vojislavljević ruled the Serb lands between the 1050s up to the 1120s .
Đorđe was overturned by Uroš I of Raška, and later returned to power in Duklja between 1125 and 1131 , but the main line of the Vojislavljević ended with him. Vojislavljevići/Uroševići Between 1050 and 1165 , the main Serbian state of Raška was ruled by descendants of the aforementioned House of Vojislavljević, but the Byzantine Empire often controlled it as well. In 1118 , the main line of the Vojislavljević dynasty was mostly extinguished in Duklja, and Uroš of Raška took control of both Raška and Duklja, which is why he named the ''Uroševići''.
After Desa's revolt, in and Travunia , and Stefan Nemanja in Toplica (in today's central Serbia). Tihomir rebelled against the Byzantium, but only Stracimir supported him: Miroslav and Stefan Nemanja did not. Stefan Nemanja defeated Tihomir and Stracimir with Byzantine help, and founded the Nemanjić dynasty. Miroslav's descendants remained the župans of Hum and Travunia in the following period, while Stefan Nemanja appointed his eldest son Vukan as the ruler of Duklja. Nemanjići of Serbia The '''.
Nemanjići in Thessaly Simeon (Siniša) Uroš, a son of Stefan Uroš III Dečanski by his second (Byzantine) wife, claimed the imperial title in 1355 , but was defeated in Serbia. He retreated into Thessaly, from where he dominated much of northern Greece in alliance with various other Serbian noblemen. He and his son reinged as ''emperor of Serbians and Greeks''. After the abdication of Jovan Uroš in 1373 , Thessaly passed into the hands of the Angeloi, who recognized Byzantine suzerainty. Mrnjavčevići in Macedonia The last Serbian emperor ( Tsar ) Stefan Uroš V associated Vukašin Mrnjavčević as king in 1366 . The Serbian royal title thus suvived in this family, but in fact the authority of these kings was circumscribed by the local nobility and confined to parts of central and eastern Macedonia. The Serbian royal title was also claimed by Tvrtko I of Bosnia , a descendant of Stefan II Dragutin, from 1377 . Tvrtko I used the titles ''king of Sebs, of Bosnia, and of the Coastlands'' from 1377 and ''king of Rascia, Bosnia, Dalmatia, Croatia, and the Coaslands'' from 1390 , but died in 1391 .
Lazarevići Serbia proper came under the control of Lazar Hrebljanović, who had married Milica, a descendant of Stefan Nemanja's eldest son Vukan. The Lazarevići and their successors, the Brankovići, ruled as princes, but were frequently distinguished by the Byzantine court title of ''despotēs'' , granted by the last Byzantine Emperors to their allies.
Brankovići
Serbia proper was annexed by the Ottoman Empire in 1459 . In 1471 a dependent Serbian state was established by the Hungarians mostly on the territory of Vojvodina and Syrmia .
Berislavići
In 1521 this Serbian jurisdiction was annexed by the Ottoman Empire. RULERS OF MODERN SERBIAN STATES Rebel leader

In 1918, Serbia became part of the newly formed Kingdom Of Serbs, Croats And Slovenes . Later that state changed name in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (i.e. Kingdom of South Slavs). In that period (between World War I and World War II ) the country was a parliamentary monarchy nominally ruled by the Karađorđević dynasty. After World War II and the socialist revolution, the country was reformed as the socialist federation of 'republics' ruled by Josip Broz Tito . After his death in 1980 , the federation started a process of dissolution which finished in a series of civil wars in the early 1990s . Through the 1990s, Serbia And Montenegro comprised the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which recently (in 2003 ) has been restructured into a confederation called '''Serbia and Montenegro'''. Currently Serbia is a parliamentary democracy. The current Karađorđević pretender to either the Serbian or the Yugoslav throne is Aleksandar Karađorđević , who apparently would like to become Aleksandar II of Serbia. SEE ALSO SOURCES
