Maleševci (tribe)
Maleševci ( sr-cyr, Малешевци) was a historical Vlach tribe of Herzegovina that existed in the Late Middle Ages. Origins The Maleševci are mentioned alongside numerous Montenegrin and Herzegovinian tribes in the 14th and 15th archives from Dubrovnik and Kotor, where they are described as Vlachs organized into a katun. The name ''Maleševci'' is the plural of ''Maleševac'', itself derived from the personal name ''Maleš'', the likely founder of the tribe. Apart from the tribe, ''Maleš'' is attested in two Vlach katuns from the Prizren estate, in the 14th century. It also gave the patronymic names ''Malešev'' and '' Malešević'', and might be related to the toponym Maleševo, found in several locations in present-day Serbia and Bulgaria. History Middle Ages The earliest known written record referring to the tribe is a Ragusan document, written on January 14, 1374, addressing ''de Malleseva'' tribe-clan. They were part of a large group of Herzegovinian Vlachs, led b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
