Tvrtko I crowned king of Bosnia
1377
The Bosnian ban had himself crowned king at Mile after absorbing parts of coastal Dalmatia and western Serbia following Stefan Dusan's collapse. Bosnia briefly became one of the larger Balkan states. Its dual religious identity among Catholics, Orthodox, and the heretical Bosnian Church made it a puzzle to popes and a unique anomaly in medieval Christendom.
