Младшите членове във владетелските домове на сърби и хървати през IX век
Junior Members of the Rulers’ Families among the Serbs and Croats in the Ninth Century

Summary/Abstract: Researches on the past of Early Medieval Balkans have challenged scholars for many decades. The results of those efforts are visible and acknowledged. To a certain extent peculiarities are caused by the historical database. Narratives which described the ninth-century Western Balkans are not so plentiful. However the well-known treatise De administrando imperio written by emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (913/945–959) reveals important features. They concern emergence of principalities among the Serbs and Croats. Undoubtedly, depicted forms of early medieval political life are relatively primitive. One of the main reasons for such a qualification is the encroachment upon the rulers facilitated by an absence of certain lineal inheritance.
