Abstract
The death of the Hungarian-Croatian king Ludovic I the Great (1432-1482) was followed at the Hungarian court by a period of weak rulers and court rivalries. Bosnian rulers, foremost amongst them king Tvrtko I (1353-1377-1391), set out to take advantage of this state of affairs by gaining more and more independence in Bosnia and by acquiring as much territory of the Croatian kingdom under the Hungarian-Croatian crown as possible. In these circumstances all of the Dalmatian-Croatian cities, excepting Zadar because of the powerful influence Venice had over this city, came under Bosnian authority during the nineties of the fourteenth century. Amongst them was the city of Šibenik to which Bosnian- Hum rulers issued a number of documents which are discussed in the article. These are documents in the narrow sense of the word.
