Lužani (tribe)
The Lužani ( sr-cyr, Лужани) were a medieval people in Zeta who inhabited the county of Luška župa, located in the Zeta valley, north to present-day Podgorica. Originating from of a mixture of Slavic and pre-Slavic population, the Lužani were likely gradually assimilated by local tribes, mainly the Bjelopavlići and the Pješivci, following the Ottoman conquest of the area in the late 15th century. Geography The county of Luška župa, inhabited by the Lužani, covered the area of the Zeta river valley, north of present-day Podgorica, including the territories of the later tribes of the Bjelopavlići, the Pješivci and parts of the Piperi. The name of the Lužani has been retained in several localities in the region, in particular the villages of Lužani and Lužnica, north of Podgorica. Origins The name ''Lužani'' comes from Slavic ''lug'' (''forest'') and as such, Lužani means ''people of the forest''. On the basis of Petar Šobajić's work, most schola ...

Zeta (crown Land)
Zeta ( sr-cyrl, Зета) as a crown land was a medieval region and province of the Serbian state (Principality, Kingdom, and Empire) of the Nemanjić dynasty, from the end of the 12th century, up to the middle of the 14th century. During that period, regional administration in Zeta was often bestowed to various members of the ruling dynasty, who administered the region as a crown land. Name At the time of Mihailo I, Zeta was a župa within Duklja and was also known as Luška župa. From the end of the 11th century, the name began to be used to refer to the whole of Duklja, at first in Kekaumenos's military manual, written in the 1080s. Over the following decades, the term ''Zeta'' gradually replaced ''Duklja'' to denote the region. History Serbian Prince Desa Urošević conquered Duklja and Travunia in 1148, combining the title as "''Prince of Primorje''" (the Maritime) and co-ruled Serbia with his brother Uroš II Prvoslav from 1149 to 1153, and alone until 1162.

Španje
The Španji or Shpani () were a medieval Albanian clan or ''fis''. They inhabited the region of Nikšić and the valley of the river Zeta in modern-day Montenegro, while also being widespread around Shkodër and Pult. According to folk legends, they were the oldest tribe in the region, while also being in frequent conflict with many other tribes such as the Macure or Bukumiri. They are commonly treated as one of the non-Slavic, "Old Balkanic" people that were assimilated (Slavicized) into the Serb ethnos. Serbianisation of the Španji and other tribes in the region began in the 6th and 7th centuries and according to M. Radovanović (2004) was completed when Serbs from surrounding regions retreated to the mountains of Montenegro and Herzegovina because of the 14th- and 15th century Ottoman invasion. The Špani were quite a rich clan, and its riches,flourished in Albania. In support of this fact we can say that in the cadastre of Shkodra of the year 1416-1417 many Špani (''Shpani' ...

Malonšići
Malonšići (in older forms: Malončići and Malonjšiki, Cyrillic: Малоншићи) was a historical tribe (''pleme'') and area in the Brda region of Montenegro. Malonšići were located between modern Danilovgrad and Podgorica. By the late 15th century they were slavicized and later assimilated into Bjelopavlići. Etymology The Malonšići were of Albanian origin. Their name is related to the Albanian word ''mal'' (mountain), a toponym and anthroponym which is very frequent among Albanian communities in modern Montenegro. The locality of ''Malenza'' in their home territory has been connected by P. Šobajić to their name and has been interpreted as a compound ''mal'' and ''zi'' (black). Geography The tribe encompassed parts of what was later Zagarač, Komani and Bjelopavlići. The area of the Malonšići is located in southern Danilovgrad Municipality and northern Podgorica municipality. The tribe lived in the basin of the Zeta, Sušica and Mareza rivers. History Th ...
