Kraljevske svadbene svečanosti u srednjovjekovnoj Bosni / Royal Nuptial Festivities in Medieval Bosnia

Abstract

There are almost no writings about weddings in medieval Bosnia. Several occasional mentions by individual historians related to weddings and marriages are rare, but they are still sufficient to get an image of the content of nuptial activities of that time. One of the rare historiographic texts that refers to this topic and deserves an important place is the work of Jaroslav Šidak who to some extent resolved this problem. His writings will actually serve as the basis for our interpretation. In this sense, we will attempt to closely present the procedure of royal festivities of medieval Bosnia as far as available source material for this topic allows it.
