Summary/Abstract: In the boundary region between Serbian and Hungarian medieval state in the XIV century there was the estate of Serbian feudal lord Detos in Valjevo surroundings with three fortresses Belaztena, Neprichow and Debrechen. This vast feudal estate became Hungarian crown good by exchange and as such entered into the treaty of Tata 1426. The estate limits, marked by river courses and village borders which have been described in Serbian original document, now lost, were translated to Latin as districts (districtus) in Hungarian documents from 1392 and 1426, which were consequently misapprehended in Serbian historiography as a series of separate regions (župe). It was in fact one vast and united feudal estate in Valjevo surroundings between slopes of Vlašić Mountain, with springs of rivers Ub, Obna and Tamnava, and sections in the course of Kolubara, Ljig, Toplica and Obnica rivers. This territory included three fortresses: Belaztena, Neprichow and Debrechen, whose position confirms existing toponyms (Belostenac brook on Vlašić Mountain). The origin of Vlašić Mountain name was also investigated.
