Summary/Abstract: The death of Tsar Uroš brought about the end of the Serbian ruling dynasty Nemanjić. With the division of the lands belonging to Nikola Altomanović between Prince Lazar and Ban Tvrtko I Kotromanić, the Serbian state lost vast domains in the West. Both sides of the River Lim came under direct control of the Bosnian ruler, and with them the towns of Mileševa and Prijepolje. Tvrtko I was crowned in 1377 as the “King of Rascia”, but there is no trustworthy proof that this happened in the monastery of Mileševo. Following the work of Mauro Orbini “The Kingdom of the Slavs”, it could have been Mileševo, although a number of historians from Bosnia and Herzegovina believe that the coronation took place in Mile near Visoko.
