The House of Nemanjić (Serbian: Немањићи; Anglicised: Nemanyid) was a medieval Serbian ruling dynasty.
The Stefan dynasty - House of Nemanjić was named after Stefan Nemanja. It was descended from the cadet line of the House of Vojislavljević. The House of Nemanjić produced eleven Serbian monarchs between 1166 and 1371.
After Stephen Nemanja had taken Stefan as his name, all the subsequent monarchs of the house used it as sort of title. Soon it became inseparable from the monarchy, and all claimants denoted their royal pretensions by using the same name, in front of their original names.
Rulers of this dynasty wore the titles Grand Princes of Rascia from 1166. After the crowning of Stefan the First-Crowned in 1217, the full title of the dynasty was King of the land of Rascia, Doclea, Travunia, Dalmatia and Zachlumia, although a shorter version of the title was King of the Serbs. Following the elevation of members of the dynasty to the status of Emperors in 1346, the title became Tsar of All Serbs, Albanians, Greeks and Bulgarians.
The family crest was a bicephalic argent eagle on a red shield, inherited from the Byzantine Paleologus dynasty.
The House of Nemanjić ruled the Serb lands between c. 1166 up to 1371.
Compared with other dynasties of Serbian lands, which usually lost their position in much less than a century, the Nemanjićs were exceptionally mighty and well-sustained ruling dynasty, and its legacy is respected among Serbs.
