When Stefan Dušan died in 1355, his son Stefan Uroš V succeeded him.
Uroš V's uncle Simeon Uroš in Thessaly claimed the title in rivalry, continued by his son John Uroš.
With the extinction of the main line of the Nemanjić dynasty with the death of heirless Stefan Uroš V in 1371, the imperial title became obsolete.
The fall of the Serbian Empire saw the state fragmenting into provinces ruled by magnates, holding various titles, except the imperial.
In 1527, a renegade Hungarian-Serbian commander, Jovan Nenad, styled himself Emperor.
