INTRODUCTION
The rulers of Bosnia are shown in Chapter 1 of this document.� No information has been found on rulers, if any, of Bosnia before the late 12th century.� It is assumed that the territory was then under the jurisdiction of the kingdom of Croatia, as Bosnia had nominally been annexed by Hungary in 1102 when King K�lm�n acquired Croatia.� After the Byzantines defeated the Hungarians at Zemun in 1167, Bosnia was recognised as part of the Byzantine empire.� After [1180/81], when Hungary occupied Dalmatia and southern Croatia, it also claimed Bosnia.� In 1185, Emperor Isaakios II recognised Hungary's claim, although there is no evidence that the Hungarians occupied any part of the territory at the time[1].�
The first known Ban of Bosnia was Kulin.� Between his death in [1204] and the accession of Matija Ninoslav in [1232] the names of Bosnian rulers are unknown.� Another gap in knowledge follows the death of Matija Ninoslav in [1250] and the late 1280s when the sons of Uban Prijezda (possible first cousin of Matija) are recorded as Bans, although it is probable that the territory was effectively controlled by Hungary during this period and had no autonomous rulers.�
Ban Stjepan Kotromanić asserted full Bosnian independence by 1330, freeing the territory from both Hungarian and Serbian control.� Europ�ische Stammtafeln suggests possible family relationships between Stjepan and earlier bans of Bosnia[2].� However, no indication has been found that the title was at that time hereditary within the same family.� Maybe the different Bans were unrelated chiefs of local clans who asserted temporary dominance over each other from time to time.� Stjepan Tvrtko was crowned king of Bosnia in 1377, although it appears that the title was derived only from his claim to the kingdom of Serbia (where he never asserted control) not from separate recognition of Bosnia as a kingdom.� A royal crown was finally granted to Bosnia by the Papacy in 1461, only two years before the final Ottoman occupation.� After the extinction in the male line of the family of the kings of Bosnia in 1463, the title was claimed both by the Counts of Celje [Cilly] (see the document CROATIA) and the Přemyslid Dukes of Troppau (see SILESIA), both of whom descended from the Bosnian kings in the female line.�
The rulers of Hercegovina are shown in Chapter 2 of this document.� The territory neighbouring Bosnia, later known as Hercegovina, developed along different lines from Bosnia.� Rulers are first recorded in the early 10th century over �Zahumlje�.� The De Administrando Imperio of Konstantinos Porphyrogenetos states that the Romans dominated "Zachlumorum terr�" which was colonised by Emperor Diocletian, but later subjugated by "Abaribus".� The same source names "proconsulis et patricii Michaelis Busebutze Zachlumorum principis filii" as ruler of "Zachluma", presumably in the early 10th century, the titles accorded to him showing that Zahumlje must have been under Byzantine suzerainty[3].� After the extinction of the first dynasty of Hercegovinan rulers in the mid-11th century, the territory fell to Serbia.� Miroslav, brother of Stefan Nemanja Grand �upan of Serbia, was installed as Grand Knez in the late 1160s, when the territory became known as �Hum�.� His probable descendants ruled Hercegovina until the Bosnian conquest in [1326].� A third dynasty came to power in [1358] when Serbia installed Vojislav Vojinović as Knez of Hum, but his family lost control in 1373.� Sandalj Hranić Kosača was installed as Knez of Zahumlje and Grand Voivode of Bosnia after 1418.� His nephew of the same name assumed the title "Herceg" of Hum and later that of Duke of St Sava, in honour of the Serbian saint, a title which apparently gave rise to the territory's last name Hercegovina, meaning simply �the duke's lands�[4].� Hercegovina was conquered by the Ottomans in 1481, although the title "Duke of St Sava" was borne by the family's descendants well into the 16th century.�
Primary sources for Bosnia and Hercegovina are sparse.� Serbian and Bosnian charters, dated between the late 12th and late 15th centuries, are collected in the mid-19th century Monumenta Serbica[5]. The documents are written in Serbian, but are headed by a brief description in Latin which includes some genealogical details.� It is possible that more information is included in the body of the documents which have not been studied due to the language difficulties.��
Chapter 1.��� BANS of BOSNIA
A.����� BANS of BOSNIA (12th CENTURY)
SLAVOGAST (-after [1154]).� Ban of Bosnia.� "Dessa magnus comes terre Zachulmie" donated "ecclesiam s. Pancratii" to "monasterio Iacromensi" by charter dated to [1151], confirmed by "Banus Slauogast cum filiis et omnibus Zachulmie nobilibus" by charter dated 1 Dec [1154][6].�
BORIS (-after [1156]).� Ban of Bosnia.� "Banus Boritius" confirmed donations of "ecclesi� s. Pancratii" to "Iacromensis monasterii" by charter dated 7 Aug [1156][7].� A charter dated 1209 of Endre II King of Hungary confirmed the possessions of the Knights Templar, including "villam�Erdel" originally granted by "banus Boricius de Bozna�ex concessione regis Stephani" and confirmed by "�pater noster Bela rex�eiusdem Boricii nepotes"[8].�
Two sibl�ngs, parents not known.�
- KULIN (-[1204]).� Ban of Bosnia.� A charter dated 1180 issued by "Theobaldus�Alexandro PP III sanct� sedis missus" names "Culin magno bano Bosni�"[9].� He maintained good relations with Dubrovnik, issuing a charter in 1189 allowing the town's merchants to trade in Bosnia duty free[10]: �_Kulin, Bosn� banus_� made peace with �_Ragusio, comite Gervasio_� concerning the Ragusan merchants in Bosnia, dated 29 Aug 1189[11].� "Vulcanus�Diocli� et Dalmati� rex" accused "Bacilinus [Ban Culinus] cum uxore sua et cum sorore sua, qu� fuit defuncti Mirosclavi Chelmensis" of heresy in a letter written to Pope Innocent III dated Sep 1199[12].� This resulted in the Pope transferring Bosnia from the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the archbishop of Dubrovnik to the bishopric of Bar, which was restored as an archbishopric.� Hungary attempted to foment opposition within Bosnia with a view to assuming overlordship, but Kulin reaffirmed his loyalty to the Pope at a church council which he called 6 Apr 1203 at Bolino Polje.� The name of Kulin�s successor is not known[13].� m ---.� The name of Kulin�s wife is not known.� Kulin & his wife had one child:�
a) son .� Fine records that the son of Kulin visited Hungary to confirm the Bolino Polje resolutions, and suggests that he may have succeeded his father as Ban of Bosnia[14].� The primary sources on which this information is based have not been identified.�
- daughter (-after 1199).� The date range of her marriage covers the period during which Kulin is known to have been Ban of Bosnia, and after the time when Miroslav was installed as Grand Knez of Hum by his brother.� It is very approximate.� She lived at her brother's court after the death of her husband[15].� The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.�� m ([1180/90]) MIROSLAV Grand Knez of Hum, brother of STEFAN Nemanja Grand �upan of Serbia, son of ZAVID & his wife --- (-[1198]).�

B.����� BANS of BOSNIA (KOTROMANIĆ) 1290-1463
KOTROMAN, son of --- .� He is named in Europ�ische Stammtafeln as _comes_of Istv�n III King of Hungary in 1163[16], but the primary source which confirms the information has not been identified.�
RADONJA .� Knez 1249.� _Europ�ische Stammtafeln_suggests that Radonja, Ugrin and Matija Ninoslav were brothers and that they were grandsons of Kotroman[17].� The basis for this hypothesis is not known.�
UGRIN .� Knez.� Ban of Mačva-Bosnia 1249-[1279/80].� Europ�ische Stammtafeln suggests that Radonja, Ugrin and Matija Ninoslav were brothers and that they were grandsons of Kotroman[18].� The basis for this hypothesis is not known.�
�
MATIJA NINOSLAV STJEPAN (-after Mar 1249).� Europ�ische Stammtafeln suggests that Radonja, Ugrin and Matija Ninoslav were brothers and that they were grandsons of Kotroman[19].� The basis for this hypothesis is not known.� Ban of Bosnia.� A charter dated 10 Oct 1233 confirmed that Pope Gregory IX received "Ninosclavum ducem Bosn� et terr� eius" under his protection[20].� Despite this, the Pope in 1234 called on the Hungarians to crusade against "heretics" in Bosnia.� The campaign actively began in 1235 and resulted in Hungarian occupation of a large part of Bosnia, until the troops were obliged to withdraw in the face of the Mongol threat in 1241.� The Dominicans, who followed in the Hungarians� wake, erected a cathedral in Vrhbosna [Sarajevo] where the Dominican Ponsa was appointed bishop of Bosnia and Hum[21].� �_Matthaeus Ninoslav, Bosn� magnus banus_� confirmed the privileges given by �_Kulino bano_� to �_Joanni Dandulo, Ragusii comiti_� by charter dated to [1234/40][22].� �_Matthaeus Ninoslav, Bosn� magnus banus_� promised eternal peace with Ragusa by charter dated 22 Mar 1240[23].� �_Matthaeus Stephanus, Bosn� magnus banus_� promised peace with Ragusa by charter dated Mar 1249[24].� After years of pressure from Hungary, the Pope reassigned ecclesiastical control of the Bosnian church from the archbishop of Dubrovnik to the Hungarian archbishopric of Kalocsa in 1252, but this marked the end of Catholic influence in Bosnia as the newly appointed Bishop of Bosnia resided in Djakovo in Slavonia[25].� The names of Ninoslav's successors as Bans of Bosnia are not known[26].�
UBAN PRIJEZDA (-1287 after 8 May).� Europ�ische Stammtafeln suggests that Uban Prijezda was the grandson of Kotroman, descended from a different son from Radonja, Ugrin and Matija Ninoslav[27].� The basis for this hypothesis is not known.� He was from Zemunik/Zemljanik.� A charter dated 10 Oct 1233 issued by Pope Gregory IX confirmed the allegiance to the church of "Urbanum dictum Priesda, cognatum ducis Ninoslavi"[28].� Although he is alleged to have ruled Bosnia as the vassal of Hungary, all the territory he is documented as controlling was to the north of the Banate of Bosnia and to the west of the Banate of Mačva[29].� He was granted the county of Novska by B�la IV King of Hungary before 1255[30].� m ---.� The name of Uban Prijezda�s wife is not known.� Uban Prijezda & his wife had four children:�
a) PRIJEZDA (-[1295]).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.�� Zupan of Zemunik 1267.� Ban of Bosnia 1287-[1295].
b) STJEPAN Kotroman (-[1314]).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.�� Ban of Upper and Lower Bosnia 1290-[1299/1302].�

c) VUK .� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.�� 1287.
d) daughter .� The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.�� [m (before 1287) [RADOSLAV], eldest son of STJEPAN comes de Vodiča Ban of Dalmatia.]�
STJEPAN Kotroman, son of UBAN PRIJEZDA Ban in northern Bosnia & his wife --- (-[1314]).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.�� Ban of Upper and Lower Bosnia 1290-[1299/1302].� His territory was attacked in [1299] by the �ubić family of Bribir, Paul [I] �ubić being referred to as Ban of Bosnia in 1299.� Stjepan Kotroman appears to have fought the �ubići in 1302 on the banks of the Drina, although the outcome is not known[31].� As Paul [I] �ubić is referred to as "Ban of All Bosnia" in 1305, it is likely that Stjepan Kotroman was defeated.� From [1312] to [1314], Stjepan was a vassal of the Nemanjiden family of Serbia and of the Counts of Bribir[32].�
m (after 1283) JELISAVETA of Serbia, daughter of STEFAN DRAGUTIN King of Serbia & his wife Katalin of Hungary (-1331).� The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.�� Regent of Bosnia until Apr 1314, after which she fled with her son to Dubrovnik[33].�
Stjepan & his wife had six children:�
- STJEPAN Kotromanić (-28 Sep 1353, bur Visoko, Franciscan monastery).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.�� After his father's death, he fled with his mother to Dubrovnik[34].� He was Ban of Bosnia in the central Visoko-Zenica area in 1318[35].� He appears to have enjoyed good relations with the �ubići until 1322 when civil war broke out within the �ubić family, after which Kotromanić supported K�roly II King of Hungary.� Stjepan Kotromanić added Soli and Usora to his territories in 1324, previously held by his maternal grandfather[36].� Ban of Upper and Lower Bosnia 1322-1353.� He annexed most of Hum in 1326, evicting the Branivojevići brothers who had assumed control during the confusion which followed the death of King Milutin of Serbia[37].� By 1330, Kotromanić had more than doubled Bosnian territory and had asserted full de facto independence from his neighbours[38].� �_Stephanus, Bosn� banus_� confirmed peace with Ragusa by charter dated 23 Oct 1332[39].� In 1337, the Pope called on Nelipac of Knin and the �ubići of Bribir to help the Franciscans in their work in Bosnia, accusing the Ban and the nobles of aiding "heretics", although Kotromanić appears to have forestalled any potential crusade with help from the Hungarian king who forbade any attack on Bosnia.� Fine suggests that this action was triggered by Nelipac to advance his own ambitions, as the Franciscans only became active in Bosnia in [1339/40] after being well received by Ban Kotromanić[40].� In 1342 the Franciscans established their Vicariat of Bosnia, which became a base for their activities in south-eastern Europe, and Ban Kotromanić converted to Catholicism by 1347[41].� Tsar Stefan Du�an of Serbia invaded Bosnia in 1350, aiming to regain control of Hum, but Ban Kotromanić avoided confrontation by retiring to the mountains[42].� He opened Bosnia's silver and lead mines, promoting economic development and increased commercial contacts with the coast[43].� Betrothed (1319, Papal dispensation 4o 18 Jul 1319) to --- von Ortenburg, daughter of MEINHARD [I] Graf von Ortenburg [in Carinthia] & his wife Elisabeth ---.� Pope John XXII issued a dispensation for the marriage of "Stephano, Stephani bani Bosnensis filio" and "filia Meinhardi comitis de Orthenborch", who were "in quarto gradu consanguinitatis coniuncta", dated 18 Jul 1319[44].� The bride either died soon after this betrothal or the contract was broken, given her future husband�s marriage in Jun 1324.� m(Jun 1324) ELŹBIETA, daughter of KAZIMIERZ of Kujavia Prince of Inowraclaw and Gnesen [Piast] & his wife --- ([1315/20]-after 22 Aug 1345).� The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.�� Stjepan Kotromanić & his wife had two children:�
a) son (-young).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.��
b) JELISAVETA ([1340]-in prison Novigrad near Zadar, Dalmatia shortly before 16 Jan 1387).� The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.�� Her father refused a proposal from Tsar Stefan Du�an of Serbia for her marriage to his son after Serbia invaded Bosnia in 1350[45].� She was regent in Hungary and Poland on the death of her husband.� She was taken prisoner with her daughter Maria by Jan Horvat after visiting Djakovo in late 1386, and taken to a castle in Novigrad near Zadar where she was strangled in front of her daughter[46].� m (Krakow 20 Jun 1353) as his second wife, LAJOS I "Nagy/the Great" King of Hungary and Poland, son of K�ROLY I King of Hungary & his third wife Elźbieta of Poland (4/5 Mar 1326-Tarnow/Tyrnau 10/11 Sep 1382, bur Sz�kesfeh�rv�r, church of Notre Dame).�

MARIJA .� A charter dated 26 Apr 1352 names "Ludovicus Nyklynum filium Laurentii et fratrem eius" who married "Mariam sororem domini Stephani ducis Boznensis�domino Helsenneerio" at "civitatem Pazzowye"[47].� It is unclear from this text whether "Ludovicus" or his brother was the husband of Maria.� It is assumed that the marriage took place well before the date of the charter as, at that time, any sister of Ban Stjepan would have been old for marriage.� m(Passau) ---.�
STJEPAN Dabi�a (-7 Sep 1395).� Fine suggests that Stjepan Dabi�a was related to Tvrtko but says that the precise relationship is not known[48].� Europ�ische Stammtafeln suggests that he was an illegitimate son of Ninoslav Kotromanić[49], but it is not known whether this is any more than a guess.� He is first mentioned in 1358.� He succeeded in 1391 as STJEPAN DABI�A King of Bosnia, maybe chosen because he was elderly and weak, but possibly also because he was the oldest member of the family[50].� �Rex Bosn� Stephanus Dabi�a_� confirmed the privileges of the Ragusans, with the consent of �_ipsius uxore Helena_�, by charter dated 17 Jun 1392, witnessed by "vojvoda Hrvoje, vojvoda Usor� Vlatko, comes Stipoje Hrvatinić, comes Radosav Prebinić, comes Dobrosav Divo�ević, tepačija Batalo, comes Gojak Dragosalić, �upan Tvrdislav Tuica, comes Vlčihna Vlatković, comes Voisav Voevodić, comes Vlkac Nartičić, �upan Radoje Radosalić, �upan Juraj Tihčinović, comes palatinus Stanac Prieku�ić"[51].� The Bosnian state held together as the nobles decided that mutual cooperation was in their interests.� Under threat from Zsigmond King of Hungary, King Dabi�a accepted Hungarian suzerainty in 1393, renounced the Croatian/Dalmatian kingship which had been claimed by his predecessor, and returned the parts of Croatia and Dalmatia conquered by King Tvrtko to Hungary[52].� m JELENA Gruba [of the Nikolići of Hum] (-after 5 Mar 1399).� �_Rex Bosn� Stephanus Dabi�a_� confirmed the privileges of the Ragusans, with the consent of �_ipsius uxore Helena_�, by charter dated 17 Jun 1392[53].� After her husband's death in 1395, the Bosnian nobles elected her as GRUBA Queen of Bosnia.� �_Helena _, Bosn� regina, Stephani Dabi�� uxor_� abolished customs taxes imposed on the Ragusans �_in Maslina prope Ston et in Slano_� by charter dated 13 May 1397[54].� She was deposed in 1398 in favour of Ostoja.� Stjepan Dabi�a & his wife had one child:�
a) STANA .� �_Stephanus Dabi�a, Bosn� rex_� granted �_pagum Velijake_� to �_fili� Stan� ad vitam_� and after her death to �_Georgio Radivojević et posteris eius_� by charter dated 26 Apr 1395[55].� m DJURADJ Radivojević Knez in Krajina Makareka, son of --- (-after 23 Feb 1408).�
