Summary/Abstract: This paper studies the formation and geographic volume of the lands out of which the medieval Bosnian state consisted of, as well as the way of formation and disappearance of certain lands, which could be seen from the title of the Bosnian rulers during the 13th and 14th century. The importance of the land of Bosnia, as the oldest and most signifi cant Bosnian state, has been specially emphasized. The role of land as an administrative unit headed by the duke or knez has been also emphasized. In that particular sense, the most important were Bosnia, Usora and Donji Kraji, which had the most developed administration.
