The Franciscans came to Bosnia.

1299.
Croatian banus Pavao Šubic Bribirski takes the title "The Lord of the entire Bosnia" (totius Bosniae dominus). His power won recognition from Gvozd to the Adriatic sea, Neretva and Drina rivers. Bosnia is ruled by his successor Mladen II. Due to the fear of a powerful Croatian state, Mladen is overthrown 1322. by joint action of Croatian peers, Venetians and Croatian-Hungarian king Karlo I. Robert.

1299.-1321.

Bribirian dukes rule over Bosnia and Hum.

1322.-1353.

As the subject of Croatian-Hungarian ruler, banus Stjepan Kotromanic rules over Bosnia. He has extended his power over Soli, Usora, Donji Krajevi ("lower lands") (around Gornja Sana and Vrbas), Završje or Zapadne Strane ("west sides") (Duvno, Livno and Glamoc), Krajina (between Cetina and Neretva rivers) and Zahumlje.


1359.

The Serbian king Dusan went to war with Stjepan II Kotromanic over Hum and penetrated deep into Bosnia. Only the sudden invasion of the Byzantines to the far south saved Stjepan from Dusan, who fled Bosnia.


1377.

Bosnian banus Stjepan Tvrtko Kotromanic, gathering under his rule not only "small land" Bosnia but also Usora, Hum's area, Travunja, Primorje, Donji Krajevi, Zapadne Strane and Podrinje, has declared himself as the king of "Srblji, Bosnia and Primorje", by which act Bosnia became an independent kingdom and seceded from Croatian-Hungarian state. By making use of political turmoil in the Croatian-Hungarian state--the twenty-five-years's Croatian movement--- king Tvrtko has for a short period around 1390. taken the rule over whole Croatia south from Velebit, except Zadar and Dubrovnik. This traditionally Croatian state survived until 1463., when the Turks have conquered Bosnian kingdom. Elizabeth, the daughter of Bosnian banus Tvrtko Kotromanic and the wife of Croatian-Hungarian king Ludovik Angevin, has ordered to make the silver sarcophagus of St. Simun, a masterwork of Middle-Age Croatian gothic goldsmithery.

"Krstjanin" Hrvoje was attracted to the Slavonic liturgy and glagolitics, and he ordered a beautiful glagolitic missal ornameneted with more than 300 initials and 94 colored miniatures from the Catholic writer Butko (it is kept in Constantinople). The "krstjan" writer Hval devoted the Holy Gospel of the New Testament and the Psalter to "the duke of Split, duke of Donji Krajevi and many lands".

1404.

Viganj Miloševic deceased. A part of the grave-stone from his grave in Kocerin field nearby Siroki Brijeg is conserved, with the inscription on it written in Bosnian/Croatoan/Western Cyrillic (this alphabet being known as "bosancica"), which states: "+ Va ime oca i sina i svet(a)go d(u)ha. Amin! Se (ovdje) lezo Vig(a)ri Miloševic. Sluzi banu Stipanu, i kralu T(vrt')ku, i kralu Dabisi i kralici Grubi, i krala Ostoju. I u to vrime doide, i svadi se Ostoja kral' s Hercegom i z Bosn(o)m i na Ugre poe Ostoja. To vrime mene Vigna doide koncina i legoh na svom plemenitom pod Kocerinom. I molu vas, ne nastupaite na me! Ja s(a)m bil kako vi (j)este, vi cete biti kako (j)esam ja."
The approximate translation of this inscription would be as follows:
"+ In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen! (Here) lieth Vigari Milosevic. Served banus Stipan, and king Tvrtko and king Dabisa, and queen Gruba, and king Ostoja. And the time came, when king Ostoja was quarelling with the Herzog and with Bosnia, and when Ostoja fetched Ugre. At that time I Vigna came to my end and laid down on my noble Kocerina. I beg you, do not step on me! I was as such as thou art, thou willest be as such as I am."
