Lazar was born in Prilepac (close to Novo Brdo) in 1329, the son of imperial chancelor Pribac Hrebeljanovic Hrebeljanović . He was educated at Emperor Dušan's court in Prizren. He was later granted high title knez ( in Serbian Prince ) by Dusan's successor St. Emperor Stefan Uroš V. Despite his imperial title, Uroš was a weak and ineffectual leader, allowing local nobles to gain power and influence at the expense of the central authority. Lazar was loyal vassal to Stefan Uros V.
