Bosnia
Bosnia was a mountainous Balkan banate, nominally a Hungarian vassal but independent in practice. In 1337 Stephen II of the Kotromanić dynasty ruled its heartland around Zenica, having taken coastal Hum in 1326.
His nephew Tvrtko I became ban in 1353 and crowned himself king in 1377, building a strong kingdom enriched by Srebrenica's silver. Ottoman expansion and noble rivalries undermined his successors: in 1463 the Ottomans captured and killed the last king, Stephen Tomašević, and in 1481 took the final fortress of Novi.
