Stjepan Kotromanic, bán of Bosnia

House of Kotromanic

The Kotromanic dynasty ruled various regions in Bosnia and the surroundings from the 13th century as Bans until the crowning with the Bosnian and Serbian crown in 1377 and then as Kings until the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia in 1463.

Prijezda I (1211-1287) was a Bosnian Ban as a vassal of the Hungarian Kingdom. He was the founder the Kotromanic dynasty. He was originally a Roman Catholic, but he converted to Bogomilism later on. According to the Pope's letter to Ban Matej Ninoslav, he converted back to Catholicism during Matej's reign. As he could not be trusted because of his previous conversion, he was forced to send his son as a guarantee to the Dominican Order. Ban Matej Ninoslav had to beg even to Rome itself for the release of Prijezda's son, Prijezda II, guaranteeing that they are none other than faithful Catholics - but the pleas reached deaf ears. ... more
