January __________________________ Signature CEU eTD Collection Abstract My thesis aims to understand the role of the Franciscans during the reign of the penultimate king of Bosnia, Stjepan Tomaš, whose reign was a period of major progress of Catholicism. This work problematizes activities of the Franciscans of the Bosnian vicary across their missionary action, the Observant reform, their role at the royal court, the organization of an anti-Ottoman crusade and the frequent political reconfigurations of the mid-fifteenth century. The reign of the Stjepan Tomaš was essentially the time of the Franciscan triumph over the heretical Bosnian Church, the traditional spiritual pillar of political power in Bosnia. The spheres of life that these two organizations were competing to dominate were fully taken over by the friars and after a phase of gradual decline, the king ultimately expelled the Bosnian Church. The papacy also included Bosnia in an anti-Ottoman front, giving the friars the floor to present their ruler as an exemplary Christian and to preach the crusade. At the same time, the expansion of the Observant movement contributed to partition of the large Bosnian vicary among the local, Apulian, Dalmatian and Hungarian Observant communities. The conflict between them and their Observant superiors went on during the entire reign of Tomaš and brought together the monarchy and the vicary. The thesis discusses the source material issued during the crisis, and this material is a great help in understanding the lifestyle and aspirations of the friars of the Bosnian vicary. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Gábor Klaniczay whose continued support allowed for completion of this thesis. Special thanks to Zsuzsanna Reed for her help with my drafts as well as her assistance during the academic year. I am also grateful to organizers and participants of the summer school in Jajce 2016: Demitologizacija nacija i identiteta – Bosna u evropskom srednjem vijeku. My stay in Jajce was the time that allowed me to structure my knowledge about the Bosnian Middle Ages. Here I would like to thank Dženan Dautović for his irreplaceable help with the literature. I also would like to thank Dubravko Lovrenović for an opportunity to personally and informally inquire the author of books and articles that I read. His death stroke me during the writing process of this thesis and left me in a great grief. Last but not least, I would like to thank all my CEU professors and colleges who on different occasions helped me with sources, literature, language and more during my research in Budapest. You all contributed to the completion of this thesis.

The order outlived the medieval Bosnian kingdom, the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian rule and two Yugoslav states over the turmoils of Bosnian history. The friars managed to adapt to a number of political reconfigurations. In many ways, Franciscans influenced Bosnian culture and at the same time were themselves suffused with its culture. The reign of Stjepan Tomaš in Bosnia (?-1461, king 1443-1461, also reffered to as Stephen Thomas in the English literature), followed by shorter reign of his son, Stjepan Tomašević (1461-1463) represents at first sight, very favorable (if not the most favorable) times for the Franciscan ministry in the history of this country. There was no moment when Bosnia on its own had a better relationship with the papacy. Indeed, the king and his wife, Queen Catherine of Bosnia (bos. Kraljica Katarina Kosača; 1425-1478), favored the Catholic Church in their realm. My thesis aims to understand the role of the Franciscans during this time by problematizing their activities across their missionary action, their role at the court, the organization of an anti-Ottoman front and the frequent political reconfigurations of the mid- fifteenth century, a time when history indeed “accelerated” and led to fall of the Kotromanić dynasty and the Bosnian kingdom. I will reveal the challenges that the Bosnian Franciscans had to face by outlining the general political difficulties Stjepan Tomaš had to overcome and CEU

  • 275 1. Medieval Bosnian State the Very First Inhabitants of the Bosnia
    KURT 3EHAJI 3 Suad - State-legal vertical Bosnia and Herzegovina STATE -LEGAL VERTICAL BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Assistant Professor Ph. D. Suad KURT 3EHAJI 3 The University of Political Sciences in Sarajevo Summary Bosnia and Herzegovina has millennial existence. Bosnia was first mentioned in second half of the tenth century in the work of the Byzantine emperor and writer Constantin Porfirogenet „De administrando imperio“. The Charter of Kulin Ban as of 29 August 1189 is undisputed evidence that Bosnia was an independent State. During the domination of Tvrtko I Kotromanic in 1377, Bosnia was transformed into the kingdom and became the most powerful country in the Balkans. During 1463 Bosnia was ruled by the Ottoman Empire but retained certain features of political identification, first as the Bosnian province since 1580, and afterwards as the Bosnian Vilayet since 1965. After Austro-Hungarian having arrived, Bosnia became Corpus separatum. In the Kingdom of SHS, borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina complied with the internal regionalization of the country until 1929. During the Second World War, at the First Assembly of ZAVNOBiH in Mrkonjic Grad on 25th November 1943, Bosnian sovereignty within the Yugoslav Federation was renewed. After the Yugoslav crisis, which culminated in 1991 and 1992, Yugoslavia is in dissolution and peoples and citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the referendum on 29 February and 1 March 1992 voted for independence. The protagonists of greater Serbs policy could not accept such solution for Bosnia and Herzegovina and that was followed by aggression, which, after three and a half years ended by painful compromises contained in the Dayton Peace Agreement.

  • The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism”
    The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism” Davor Marijan War Museum, Zagreb, Republic of Croatia Abstract The author in this study does not intend to provide a comprehensive account of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in part because the cur- rent level of research does not enable this. The only way to understand this conflict is through facts, not prejudices. However, such prejudices are particularly acute amongst Muslim-Bosniac authors. They base their claims on the notion that Serbs and Croats are the destroyers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that both are equally culpable in its destruction. Relying on mainly unpublished and uncited documents from the three constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author factually chal- lenges basic and generally accepted claims. The author offers alternative responses to certain claims and draws attention to the complexity of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been mainly viewed in terms of black or white. The author does, however, suggest that in considering the character of the war it is necessary to examine first the war in Croatia and the inter-relationship between the two. The main focus is on 1992 and the Muslim and Croat differences that developed into open conflict at the beginning of 1993. The role of the international community in the war and the partition of Bosnia and Herzegovina are also discussed. At the end of the 20th century in Europe and the eclipse of Communism from the world political scene, it is not easy to trace the indelible marks left behind after the collapse of Yugoslavia and the wars that ensued.
