Özet
Knez Lazar'ın kızı olarak dünyaya gelen, babasının ölüm emrini veren Yıldırım Bayezid ile evlenerek Osmanlı sarayına giren, Ankara Savaşı'nın ardından Timur'a esir düşen ve daha sonra serbest kalarak memleketine dönen Olivera'nın hayatı travma ve trajediler ile örülmüş romantik bir serüveni andırmaktır. Sırplara göre kendisini ülkesi için feda eden bir kahraman, Osmanlılara göre Bayezid'i içki ve eğlenceye alıştıran kötü kadın, Avrupa kökenli oryantalist mitlere göre eline esir düştüğü barbarlar tarafından hakarete uğramış bir prensestir.Bu araştırma, temelde Osmanlı hanedanının bir üyesi olmasına rağmen Türkiye'de üzerine herhangi bir monografi yapılmamış olan Olivera'nın hayat hikâyesine odaklanmakla birlikte, çağdaş Osmanlı, Bizans, Sırp, Timurlu ve Avrupa kaynak, anlatı ve sanat eserlerine yansıyan Olivera imgesini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
