History Of Split, Croatia
History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop a ...

13th-century Serbian Royalty
The 13th century was the century which lasted from January 1, 1201 (represented by the Roman numerals MCCI) through December 31, 1300 (MCCC) in accordance with the Julian calendar. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan, which stretched from Eastern Asia to Eastern Europe. The conquests of Hulagu Khan and other Mongol invasions changed the course of the Muslim world, most notably the Siege of Baghdad (1258) and the destruction of the House of Wisdom. Other Muslim powers such as the Mali Empire and Delhi Sultanate conquered large parts of West Africa and the Indian subcontinent, while Buddhism witnessed a decline through the conquest led by Bakhtiyar Khilji. The earliest Islamic states in Southeast Asia formed during this century, most notably Samudera Pasai. The Kingdoms of Sukhothai and Hanthawaddy would emerge and go on to dominate their surrounding territories. Europe entered the apex of the High Middle Ages, characterized by rapid legal, cultural, and religious evol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zachlumia or Zachumlia ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, separator=" / ", Zahumlje, Захумље, ), also Hum, was a medieval principality located in the modern-day regions of Herzegovina and southern Dalmatia (today parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, respectively). In some periods it was a fully independent or semi-independent South Slavic principality.

Zavida
Zavida (Serbian Cyrillic: Завида) was a 12th-century Serbian nobleman, and father of prince Miroslav of Hum, mentioned as such in the Miroslav Gospel, and in the ktetor inscription in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Bijelo Polje. Since Miroslav was brother of Stefan Nemanja, Grand Prince of Serbia (1166-1196), Zavida is also considered as Nemanja's father too. Zavida was a kinsman of earlier Grand Princes of Serbia, including Vukan I and Uroš I, or even a son of Vukan or Uroš, as proposed by some historians, since Stefan Nemanja's descendants are named ''Vukan'' and ''Uroš'' in several generations, but those genealogical questions are not considered as definitively resolved. As a nobleman (župan) in Serbia, Nemanja's father (presumably Zavida) got into conflict with his brothers, sometime during the first half of the 12th century, resulting in him being exiled to the Duklja (Zeta) region, where his son Nemanja would be born, in ''Ribnica'' (part of present-day P ...

Ston
Ston () is a settlement and a municipality in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County of Croatia, located at the south of isthmus of the Pelješac peninsula. History Because of its geopolitical and strategic position, Ston has had a rich history since ancient times. Located at the gates of the peninsula, surrounded by three seas, protected by four hills, rich in fresh water and saltwater, fertile plains, it has been an important political, cultural and ecclesiastical centre. Initially it was an Illyrian settlement until the Romans established their own colony there, in 167 BC. In 533, at Salona, a diocese of Sarsenterum was established for the Zachlumia (Hum) area, which belonged to the church in Ston (Pardui). Later Sarsenterum was destroyed, most likely at the time of the Avars' campaign. Since Ston was not reached by the Avars, it was spared and became the seat of the local ''župa''. Upon the arrival of the South Slavs in the 7th century, the area of the Neretva (from the no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
