Summary/Abstract: Where is Bosnia with its medieval history in people's memory? Where have been its rulers (bans), feudal lords and kings? "During the time of Ban Kulin and good old days" is a popular saying which can be understood as a vague recollection of the old Bosnian history. Yet another poem and the story about "Herceg Sćepan" (Duke Sjepan Kosada) and that will be all. How could it happen that their memory had been lost despite all their might and glory and the number of battles and bloodshed tragedies? The King Tvrtko, ’’the King of the Serba, Bosnia and the Coast" remained present only on the parchments of paper. He has not been alive in the popular memory, not even as the Serbian ruler "Uro5 the Weak".
