Life

edit

Hrvatin Stjepanić was a Bosnian magnate, who ruled in Donji Kraji, in medieval Bosnia with the title of knez de inferioribus Bosne confinibus (lit.'of the borderlands of lower Bosnia').[1] He was a relative and vassal of Paul I Šubić of Bribir, a Ban of Bosnia at the time.[2][3] Medievalist Ferdo Šišić believed that Hrvatin died around the same time as Paul I in 1312.[4] He had three sons.[4] Hrvatin is a namesake for the Hrvatinić noble family, made prominent in the Banate of Bosnia and later Kingdom of Bosnia by his son, Vukac Hrvatinić, at first as a knez and later vojvoda (transl.duke), and even more so by his grandson, the Grand Duke of Bosnia, Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić.
