Dragiša Dinjčić
Dragiša Dinjičić ( sr-Cyrl, Драгиша Дињичић) was a knez from the Bosnian noble Dinjičić family, which had its estates in the eastern parts of the medieval Bosnian state, in the Jadar region. He was the son of the Župan Dinjica. Dinjica is succeeded by Knez Dragiša Dinjčić, probably his son. Dragiša Dinjčić is known for his active participation in the conspiracy against Knez Pavle Radinović and his murder in walk through Parena Poljana valley, between royal court in Sutjeska and royal fortress-town Bobovac, on 22 August 1415. After this event, open hostility arose among the Bosnian nobility. As such a situation did not suit Sultan Mehmed I, he initiated a new session of ''stanak'' through his representatives. During the ''stanak'', the King Ostoja was blamed for this event, as well as Dinjčićs, whose arrest was ordered. Like King Ostoja, Dragiša escaped arrest, and as a man of King Tvrtko II Stephen Tvrtko II ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, Stjepan/Stefan Tvrtko, ...

Gospodin
''Gospodar'' or ''hospodar'', also ''gospodin'' as a diminutive, is a term of Slavic languages, Slavic origin, meaning "lord" or "Master (form of address), master". The compound (, , , sh-Latn-Cyrl, gospodar, господар, ) is a derivative of ''gospod'' / ''gospodin'', , or when spelled with a capital G (''Gospod'' / ''Gospodin'') it translates as Lord for God. Etymology The etymology of the word can be traced back to the connotation of the Indo-European patron-client and guest-host relationship. Patron-client Rich patrons sponsored feasts as a way for them to promote and secure a political hierarchy built on the unequal mobilization of labor and resources, by displaying their generosity towards the rest of the community. Rivals competed publicly through the size and complexity of their feasts, and alliances were confirmed by gift-giving and promises made during those public gatherings. The host of the feast was called the *''ghosti-potis'', the 'lord of the guests', who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Medieval Bosnian Nobility
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to the late 15th centuries, similarly to the post-classical period of World history (field), global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early Middle Ages, Early, High Middle Ages, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralised authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the ...

Tvrtko II Of Bosnia
Stephen Tvrtko II ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, Stjepan/Stefan Tvrtko, Стјепан/Стефан Твртко; died in November 1443), also known as Tvrtko Tvrtković (), was a member of the House of Kotromanić who reigned as King of Bosnia from 1404 to 1409 and again from 1420 to his death. Tvrtko II was the son of King Tvrtko I. His reigns took place during a very turbulent part of Bosnian history. He was first installed as a puppet king by the kingdom's leading noblemen, Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić and Sandalj Hranić Kosača, to replace his increasingly dependent uncle Ostoja. Five years later, he lost the support of the nobility and thus the crown as well. He was hardly politically active during the second reign of Ostoja, but managed to depose and succeed Ostoja's son Stephen. Tvrtko's second reign was marked by repeated Turkish raids, which forced him to accept the Ottoman suzerainty, and the struggle for power with Radivoj, another son of Ostoja. Tvrtko was married twice, but died ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stanak
''Stanak'' is the most common name used to refer to the assembly of nobility in medieval Bosnia. The assembly, in the original Bosančica: (), was also known as the ''Rusag'' (from the Hungarian word ''orszag'', meaning "state" or "nation"), ''Rusag bosanski'', ''Zbor'', ''Sva Bosna'' (meaning "Whole of Bosnia") or just ''Bosna'', with the officials of the Republic of Ragusa employing several Latin terms as well. The term ''"stanak sve zemlje Bosne",'' is first attested in the charter of Tvrtko I in 1354. Its influence peaked between the 1390s and the 1420s. The Serbian historian Sima Ćirković and most other Yugoslav scholars believed that the existence of the ''stanak'' proved a unity and feeling of belonging to a Bosnian identity and integrity, but also illustrated weakness of the monarch and decentralization of the state, as argued by American colleague John Van Antwerp Fine, Jr. The right to take part in the sessions of the s''tanak'' was enjoyed by every Bosnian '' kne ...
