I came across some information about this, and I want to hear your opinion:
1. Miloš Obilić - Son of a dragon
Miloš Obilić was a serbian knight, who died in 1389 in the battle of Kosovo Polje, defending Serbia from the ottoman invasion. He got famous for bravely killing the ottoman sultan Murad the First.
Miloš was known as "Zmajević" translated as "The little dragon" or "The son of a dragon", just like Vlad The Impaler (Dracula).
This shows something interesting, was Miloš's father part of the Order of the Dragon? Remember, this was way before 1408.
2. Serbian medieval knight's plate armours
It was very common of high ranking serbian knight - BEFORE 1408 - to have dragon symbols on their helmets.
-------
But even after 1408, the order was highly respected among Serbs, becoming a part of both our oral tradition and poetry.
Stefan Lazarević, who also was a knight of the order, made a new symbol for his dynasty and Serbia:
Dragon with a symbol of Nemanjići dynasty
