Life

Hrvatin Stjepanić was a Bosnian magnate, who ruled in Donji Kraji, in medieval Bosnia with the title of knyaz (de inferioribus Bosne confinibus).[1] He was a relative and vassal of Paul I Šubić of Bribir, Ban of Bosnia at the time.[2][3] Medievalist Ferdo Šišić believed that Hrvatin have died around the same time as Paul I (1312).[4] He had three sons.[4] Hrvatin is a namesake for the Hrvatinić noble family, made prominent in the Banate of Bosnia and later Kingdom of Bosnia by his son, Vukac Hrvatinić, at first as a knyaz and later vojvoda (transl. duke), and even more so by his grandson, the Grand Duke of Bosnia, Hrvoje Vukčić.

Hrvatin had three sons:

  • Vukoslav Hrvatinić (Latin: Vlkosslaus; fl. 1315–1326), issued a charter in 1315 in Sanica.[5] In ca. 1326, Ban Stjepan II in a land grant mentioned that Vukoslav "had left the Croatian lord".[6] Served as Knyaz of Ključ (fl. 1325).[7] Married Jelena, the daughter of Knyaz Kurjak.[8]
  • Pavao Hrvatinić (fl. 1323–1332)
  • Vukac Hrvatinić (fl. 1357–1366), defended the Soko fortress in the Pliva county in ca. 1363 against the Hungarians, for which he was awarded an entire župa Pliva and a title of vojvoda (transl. duke) by Ban Tvrtko I.[9]
