Person
Ban Kulin
Ban Kulin ruled Bosnia from about 1180 to 1204, nominally under Hungarian and Byzantine overlordship but in practice independently, and his reign was later remembered as a golden age. His charter of 1189 granting free trade to the merchants of Ragusa is one of the oldest state documents in a South Slavic language. Accused of protecting heretics, he and his nobles publicly abjured heresy at Bilino Polje in 1203.
