This German nobleman co-signed the edicts for Bosnia in the Split Church in 1163 with the Hungarian King Stephen IV. Apparently, the Hungarian King Stephen III invited him to place him as a regional ruler in Hungary's name because of his ancestor's successes. Kotroman ruled as a vassal of this King. Mauro Orbini claimed in his work The Kingdom of Slavs that the Ragusan document refers to him as "'' Cotrumano Goto''", i.e. ''Kotroman the German'' but it's unclear from where did Orbini make this reference.

Ban () was the title of local rulers or officeholders, similar to viceroy, used in several states in Central Europe, Central and Southeast Europe, Southeastern Europe between the 7th and 20th centuries. The most common examples have been found in medieval Croatia and medieval regions ruled and influenced by the Kingdom of Hungary. They often ruled as the king's governmental representatives, supreme military commanders and judges, and in 18th century Croatia, even as chief government officials. In the Banate of Bosnia they were always ''de facto'' supreme rulers. Historical sources The first known mention of the title ''ban'' is in the 10th century by Constantine VII, Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus, in the work ''De Administrando Imperio'', in the 30th and 31st chapter "Story of the province of Dalmatia" and "Of the Croats and of the country they now dwell in", dedicated to the Croats and the Croatian organisation of their medieval state.

Krstjani
The Bosnian Church ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, separator=/, Crkva bosanska, Црква босанска) was an autonomous Christian church in medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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'' ("Good Bosnians"). 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. Background Schism Christian missions emanating from Rome and Constantinople started pushing into the Balkans in the 9th century, Christianizing the South Slavs, and establish ...

Pataria
The ''pataria'' was an eleventh-century Catholic movement focused on the city of Milan in northern Italy, which aimed to reform the clergy and ecclesiastic government within the city and its ecclesiastical province, in support of papal sanctions against simony and clerical marriage. Those involved in the movement were called ''patarini'' (singular ''patarino''), patarines or patarenes, a word perhaps chosen by their opponents, the etymology of which is uncertain. The movement, associated with urban unrest in the city of Milan, is generally considered to have begun in 1057 and ended in 1075. The movement failed to achieve its goal. The name Patarenes (other), Patarenes has also been used for the unconnected earlier Bogomilism, Bogomils and the later ''Catharism, Albigensians or Cathars'', who in contrast were anti-papal and non-Catholic. These were declared heretical sects. They are considered by some as a precursor to the Protestant Reformation, however some sources fai ...

Kotromanić Dynasty
The House of Kotromanić ( sr-cyrl, Котроманић, Kotromanići / Котроманићи) was a late medieval Bosnian noble and later royal dynasty. Rising to power in the middle of the 13th century as bans of Bosnia, with control over little more than the valley of the eponymous river, the Kotromanić rulers expanded their realm through a series of conquests to include nearly all of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, large parts of modern-day Croatia and parts of modern-day Serbia and Montenegro, with Tvrtko I eventually establishing the Kingdom of Bosnia in 1377. The Kotromanić intermarried with several southeastern and central European royal houses. The last sovereign, Stephen Tomašević, ruled briefly as Despot of Serbia in 1459 and as King of Bosnia between 1461 and 1463, before losing both countries – and his head – to the Ottoman Turks. Origins The origin of the Kotromanić family is unclear. The earliest mention of the name itself is fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drina
The Drina ( sr-Cyrl, Дрина, ) is a long river in the Balkans, which forms a large portion of the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. It is the longest tributary of the Sava River and the longest karst river in the Dinaric Alps which belongs to the Danube River drainage basin. Its name is derived from the Roman name of the river () which in turn is derived from Greek (Ancient Greek: ) which is derived from the native name of Illyrian origin. But, this etymology is not sure.Illyrian languages are poorly documented (only ~50 glosses, mostly personal/place names). - No surviving texts exist, unlike Thracian (which has ~200 inscriptions and loanwords in Greek). - Scholars often label any pre-Slavic Balkan hydronym as "Illyrian" by default, even without proof.We don’t know if Drinus was Illyrian, Thracian, or another lost Paleo-Balkan language. - The safest claim: Drina derives from a ancient Indo-European root (*dhreu-*), preserved in Latin Drinus, but i ...

Cetina

A large artificial lake begins near Vrlika, the Peruća Lake, which was created by a dam some downstream. Cetina then passes into the lower portion of the Sinj karst field, through the city of Sinj. After that it runs eastward, through the city of Trilj and then back westward around the Mosor mountain, before flowing into the Adriatic in the city of Omiš.
