Piperi clan

The Piperi tribe (Serbian Cyrillic: "Пипери") is a Serbian clan from Montenegro, originating from the Serb House of Nemanjić, their land is located between the Morača and Zeta rivers, reaching the northern suburbs of Montenegrin capital Podgorica. According to a legend, it was founded by a man called "Pipo", who also had four brothers: Vaso, Ozro (Lazar), Kraso, and Oto (Mrkota). Pipo's brothers were forefathers of the Orthodox Serb clans of Vasojevići and Ozrinići, and the Albanian Catholic tribes Krasniqi (Serbian truncation: Krasnići) and Hoti from Montenegro.

The clan is one of the seven clans of the Montenegrin Highlands ("Brda") and it was first mentioned in the Venice documents at the beginning of the 15th century. During the wars with the Ottoman Turks, the Piperi tribe has been regarded as one of the most bellicose tribes in the history of Montenegro.
