Summary/Abstract: The story of the Bosnian “krstjane” (“christians”) has been over simplified by those who see the period from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century as a glorious time in which the duelist church and state worked together and prospered.In fact, the krstjane efforts to replicate early Christianity and follow an apostolic path were often obstructed by churchmen and politicians in Rome and Hungary who mounted crusades against them, such as the crusades of 1235-39, when Bosnia was devastated and thousands were either burned at the stake or led away into captivity.
