Administrative divisions of medieval Serbia refer to regional administrative divisions of Medieval Serbia, from the 7th to the 15 the century. [1]
The Byzantine Empire called the lands of the South Slavs " Sclaviniaes" (from the Sclaveni, the Southwestern branch), and they were initially outside Imperial control. By the second half of the 7th century, most of the Slavs in proximity to Byzantium had recognized the Emperor's supreme rule.
The prince (archon) that led the Serbs to the Balkans and received the protection of Heraclius (r. 610–641), known conventionally as the Unknown Archont, was an ancestor of the Vlastimirović dynasty. [2] The Serbs at that time were organized into župe, a confederation of village communities (roughly the equivalent of a county), [3] headed by a local župan (a magistrate or governor). [4] According to Fine, the governorship was hereditary, and the župan reported to the Serbian prince, whom they were obliged to aid in war. [5] Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (r. 913–959) mentions that the Serbian throne is inherited by the son, i.e. the first-born, [2] though in one occasion there is a triumvirate in his enumeration of monarchs. [6] [7]
According to the Royal Frankish Annals, written in 822, Ljudevit went from his seat at Sisak to the Serbs somewhere in Western Balkans, "who are said to hold a great/large part of Dalmatia" (ad Sorabos, quae natio magnam Dalmatiae partem obtinere dicitur). [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] According to the DAI, "baptized Serbia" included the "inhabited cities" (kastra oikoumena) of Destinikon, Tzernabouskeï, Megyretous, Dresneïk, Lesnik and Salines, while the "small land" (chorion) of Bosnia, reportedly part of Serbia, had the cities of Katera and Desnik. [14] Accordingly, Serbia included lands around rivers Lim, Tara, Piva, Ibar, West Morava, Upper Drina and Upper Bosna. [15] [16]

...the Serbs, a people that is said to hold a large part of Dalmatia
...who are said to hold a great part of Dalmatia
'a people that is said to hold a large part of Dalmatia'. This was a reference to the ancient Roman province of Dalmatia, which extended deep into the western Balkan interior, from the eastern Adriatic coast to the valleys of the Ibar and Sava Rivers.
Srbija je, po njemu, obuhvaćala tada planinske predjele oko Lima, gornje Drine (s porječjem Pive i Tare), Ibra i zapadne Morave (kasniji izvori upotrebljavaju za te krajeve i naziv Raška), dalje područje Sol (oko Tuzle) i Bosnu, po kojom se podrazumijevala samo oblast oko gornjeg toka rijeke Bosne.
