Bosnia Partitioned
1459
The Ottoman advance into Bosnia had already fragmented the kingdom's fragile unity. Its last king Stephen Tomasevic would be captured and executed four years later at Jajce. Bosnia's Bogomil church, already declining, would see unusual numbers of its adherents convert to Islam under Ottoman rule, creating South Slavic Muslim communities that persist today.
