The name commemorates the memorable, historic battle of the Serbs against the Turks on the Field of Blackbirds in June 1389. The Serbs and their allies under Prince Lazar Hrebeljanović (1329-1389) were defeated by the Turkish army under their commander Sultan Murad I (1319 or 1326-1389). Neither of the leaders of these peoples survived this battle. The Turkish Murad was killed by a Serbian soldier who had infiltrated the Ottoman camp. The Serbian Lazar was captured and executed.
