Radivojević Noble Family
Radivojević noble family were a Bosnian nobility during the 14th and 15th century. They were vassals to Kosača noble family, Kosače, who were the lords of the southeastern region of Kingdom of Bosnia at the time, and with whom the family often quarreled for the reason of growing Kosače arbitrariness as they tried to gain and deepen their autonomy from Bosnia royal dominion. Members of Radivojević were participants in Thomas_of_Bosnia#Succession_war, King Tomaš's engagements in restoration of royal authority over Kosače domains, and in particular over the towns of Drijeva and Blagaj Fort, Blagaj.

Banate Of Bosnia
The Banate of Bosnia ( sh, Banovina Bosna / Бановина Босна), or Bosnian Banate (''Bosanska banovina'' / Босанска бановина), was a medieval state based in what is today Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although Hungarian kings viewed Bosnia as part of Hungarian Crown Lands, the Banate of Bosnia was a ''de facto'' independent state, for most of its existence. It was founded in the mid-12th century and existed until 1377 with interruptions under Šubić family between 1299 and 1324. In 1377 it was elevated to kingdom. The greater part of its history was marked by a religiopolitical controversy revolving around the native Christian Bosnian Church condemned as heretical by the dominant Nicene Christian churches, namely the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, with the Catholic church being particularly antagonistic and persecuting its members through the Hungarians. Historical background In 1136, Béla II of Hungary invaded upper Bosnia for the first time and cr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kingdom Of Bosnia
The Kingdom of Bosnia ( sh, Kraljevina Bosna / Краљевина Босна), or Bosnian Kingdom (''Bosansko kraljevstvo'' / Босанско краљевство), was a medieval kingdom that lasted for nearly a century, from 1377 to 1463, and evolved out of the Banate of Bosnia, which itself lasted since at least 1154. Although Hungarian kings viewed Bosnia as under their sovereignty during this time, Bosnian sovereignty and independence in conducting its affairs is nevertheless undeniable. King Tvrtko I (r. 1353–91) acquired portions of western Serbia and most of the Adriatic coast south of the Neretva River. During the late part of his reign, Bosnia became one of the strongest states in the Balkan Peninsula. However, feudal fragmentation remained important in Bosnia and the Bosnian nobility held significant power, exercising it at the Stanak meetings where members deliberated on matters such as election of the new king or queen and coronations, foreign policy, sale o ...

Vlastelin
Vlastelin ( vlastelini) is the Bosnian word for the "magnate", derived from ''vlast'' ("rule, power, authority, government, management, office"). Other words are ''velmoža'' and ''velikaš'', sometimes used interchangeably, particularly to designate ''regional lords''. ''Vlastelin'' was used when referring to the highest and most powerful nobility in medieval Bosnia. Also, in Serbia and Croatia of the era, the ''velikaš'' and ''velmoža'' were most likely terms used in place of ''vlastelin''. From ''vlastelin'' the term ''vlasteličić'' was derived for lower or lesser ''vlastelin'' status. In Eastern Europe the equivalent term would be boyar. Titles used by the higher nobility in medieval Bosnia include ''Grand duke'' (person in command of military) in Bosnia specifically Grand Duke of Bosnia, ''Knyaz'', '' Duke'', '' Prince'', etc. Magnates in Bosnia * ''Grand Duke of Bosnia'' Pavle Radinović * ''Grand Duke of Bosnia'' Hrvoje Vukčić * ''Grand Duke of Bosnia'' Stjepan ...

Bosnian Church
The Bosnian Church ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, separator=/, Crkva bosanska, Црква Босанска) was a Christian church in medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina that was independent of and considered heretical by both the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox hierarchies. Historians traditionally connected the church with the Bogomils, although this has been challenged and is now rejected by the majority of scholars. Adherents of the church called themselves simply ''Krstjani'' ("Christians") or ''Dobri Bošnjani, Usorani, Humljani...'' ("Good Bosnians, Usorans, Humlians..."). The church's organization and beliefs are poorly understood, because few if any records were left by church members and the church is mostly known from the writings of outside sources - primarily Catholic ones. The monumental tombstones called '' stećak'' that appeared in medieval Bosnia, as well as Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro, are sometimes identified with the Bosnian Church.

Ottoman Conquest Of Bosnia
The Ottoman conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina was a process that started roughly in 1386, when the first Ottoman attacks on the Kingdom of Bosnia took place. In 1451, more than 65 years after its initial attacks, the Ottoman Empire officially established the Bosansko Krajište (Bosnian Frontier), an interim borderland military administrative unit, an Ottoman frontier, in parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1463, the Kingdom fell to the Ottomans, and this territory came under its firm control. Herzegovina gradually fell to the Ottomans by 1482. It took another century for the western parts of today's Bosnia to succumb to Ottoman attacks, ending with the capture of Bihać in 1592. Origins and etymology The entire territory that is today known as Bosnia and Herzegovina was not conquered by the Ottoman Empire at once, in a single battle; rather, it took the Ottoman Empire several decades to conquer it. Military units of the Ottoman Empire made many raids into feudal principalities i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kosača Noble Family
The House of Kosača ( sr-Cyrl, Косача, Kosače / Косаче), somewhere Kosačić ( sr-Cyrl, Косачић, Kosačići / Косачићи), was a Bosnian medieval noble family which ruled over parts of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia between the 14th century and the 15th century. The land they controlled was known as ''Humska zemlja'' (Hum, for short), roughly corresponding to modern region of Herzegovina, which itself was derived from the title "Herzog", which Stjepan Vukčić Kosača adopted in 1448., with latin title "Dux Sancti Sabbae". Besides Hum, they ruled parts of Dalmatia and Rascia. They were vassals to several states, including the Kingdom of Bosnia and Ottoman Empire. Historians think the Kosača family is part of the Kőszegi family (House of Herceg), but there is a lack of evidence for this claim. The religious confession of the Kosača family is uncertain. They were in contact with the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thomas Of Bosnia
Stephen Thomas ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, separator=/, Stefan Tomaš, Стефан Томаш, sh-Latn-Cyrl, separator=/, label=none, Stjepan Tomaš, Стјепан Томаш; 1411 – July 1461), a member of the House of Kotromanić, reigned from 1443 until his death as the penultimate king of Bosnia. An illegitimate son of King Ostoja, Thomas succeeded King Tvrtko II, but his accession was not recognized by the leading magnate of the Kingdom of Bosnia, Stjepan Vukčić Kosača. The two engaged in a civil war which ended when the King repudiated his wife, Vojača, and married the insubordinate nobleman's daughter, Catherine. Thomas and his second wife, both raised in the Bosnian Church tradition, converted to Roman Catholicism and sponsored construction of churches and monasteries throughout the kingdom. Throughout his reign, Thomas waged a war with the Serbian Despotate over the lucrative mining town of Srebrenica and its surroundings, in addition to (or in conjunction with) m ...

Drijeva
Drijeva known in Venetian as ''Narenta'', was a medieval customs town and marketplace located in what is today the village of Gabela, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was held by the Kingdom of Serbia until the War of Hum (1326–29), when it was passed to the Banate of Bosnia. It was an early colony of the Republic of Ragusa established in the second half of the 14th century. History In ancient times, the city of Narona existed in the area of medieval Drijeva. In the written sources of Dubrovnik archive (at the time Ragusa), Drijeva appears under the name of ''Lat. Narenti, forum Narenti, mercatum''. The first mention dates back to 1186, when the Serbian župan Stefan Nemanja gave the Ragusans freedom to trade in Drijeva's market. Around 1280 the market was owned by George, the son of Prince Andria. The trade with and entire Neretva region became part of the Bosnian state under the Bosnian ban Stjepan II Kotromanić, who added entire region with Zahumlje, Travunija, Primorije and N ...
