The '''House of Nemanjić''' ([[Serbian language|Serbian]]: Немањићи, ''Nemanjići''; [[Anglicised]]: ''Nemanyid''; [[German language|German]]: ''Nemanjiden'') was a medieval [[Serb]]ian ruling dynasty.
 
  
The "Stefan" dynasty - House of Nemanjić was named after [[Stefan Nemanja]]. It was descended from the [[cadet branch|cadet line]] of the [[House of Vojislavljević]]. The House of Nemanjić produced [[List of Serbian monarchs|eleven Serbian monarchs]] between [[1166]] and [[1371]].
 
 
After Stefan Nemanja had taken ''[[Stefan (title)|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 II of Serbia|Stefan the First-Crowned]] in [[1217]], the full title of the dynasty was ''King of the land of [[Raška|Rascia]], [[Duklja|Doclea]], [[Travunia]], [[Dalmatia]] and [[Zahumlje|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 [[Emperor]]s 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 Empire|Byzantine]] [[Paleologus]] dynasty.
 
 
The House of Nemanjić ruled the [[Serb lands]] between c. [[1166]] and [[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.
