Summary/Abstract: Studying of the duke title in medieval Bosnia was not a subject of separate analysis of Bosnian examples. The set up dilemmas are showing that the lineage of the duke title in families had a constant rhythm that was respected almost as a rule. Expressed deviations, in which partly and unjustifiably turning away from the Bosnian ruler – central power, as the carrier of the hierarchy, as: two dukes in the family and family ties, younger brother duke before the older one,father the prince and the son the duke at the same time, two brothers dukes at the same time, are not adequately argumented as the possible deviations of the well-established rhythm of the duke title in medieval Bosnia. A number of other milestone questions show that the research of the duke title is an open and rich thematic frame that in later work can quicken and widen the current findings of the social structure in medieval Bosnia.
