In medieval Serbian history, the vitez (Serbian: витез, pl. vitezovi/витезови, often translated as "knight") were mounted warriors, part of the nobility, that followed chivalric codes. They are especially known from Serbian epic poetry in events of the 14th–15th centuries, surrounding the Fall of the Serbian Empire and struggles against the expanding Ottoman Empire.
