The Despot insisted on fostering the martial arts and skills in military tactics. The Byzantine court awards him the title of Despot. The defeat in that battle meant for Bayazit shame of slavery and for Stefan the beginning of a new life. In the battle of Angora (Ankara) in 1402, Stefan was at the head of the undefeated heavily armored right wing. He learnt his first lesson in the meaning of life in Saray, where he took his very young sister Olivera, sacrificed to the wild warrior and erotic beast Bayazit – the Thunder.
He was predestined for his mission of a ruler. Constantine the Philosopher, the author of his biography, particularly emphasizes Stefan’s ability to very quickly surpasses his teachers and be perfect in all respects. He was a dreamer and at the same time a ruler who fought duels with history as challenger, even when the exploit required an effort beyond human possibilities. His education was based on Alexandrida, a romantic history for the brave. Yefimya, a nun of noble origin, in her former, secular life Yelena Mrnjavchevitch, actually taught him in early childhood what kind of decisions to take. The awarded name has indicated the nature and features of his Crown.
