Stjepan Vukčić Kosača (Bosnian Cyrillic: Стефан Вукчић Косача, also Šćepan, Stjepan, Stipan, Stevan, Stefan; 1404-1466) was a Bosnian nobleman from the house of Kosača and a Grand Duke (Voivode) of Bosnia, Lord of Zahumlje and Primorje and also Herzog of Saint Sava. It was Stephen's ducal title "Herzog" that gave rise to the name Herzegovina when he asserted the independence of the territory in 1435 and 1448. The title is today carried in the name of the country Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in the name of the Montenegrin city of Herceg Novi. After 1320s, Zahumlje and Travunia became part of the Bosnian kingdom. In a document sent to Friedrich III on January 20, 1448, Stephen Vukčić Kosača styled himself Duke of Saint Sava, lord of Hum and Primorje, Grand Herzog of the Bosnian kingdom (Herzog means duke in German) and so the lands he controlled became (much later) known as Herzog's lands or Herzegovina. On 15 February 1444, Stephen signed a treaty with Alfonso V, king of Aragon and Naples, becoming his vassal in exchange for king's help against Stephen's enemies, namely Bosnian king Stjepan Tomaš, duke Ivaniš Pavlović and Venice. In the same treaty Stefan promised to pay regular tribute to Alfonso instead to Ottoman sultan as he did until then.[1] Stephen Vukčić died in 1466, and was succeeded by his eldest son Vladislav Hercegović. In 1482 he was overpowered by Ottoman forces led by Stephen Vukčić's youngest son, Ahmed Hercegović, who accepted Islam. In the Ottoman Empire, Herzegovina was organized as a province (sanjak) within the state (pashaluk) of Bosnia. The name of the country was changed to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1853, as a result of a twist of political events. It was part of the Ottoman Empire for a bit less than four centuries. Stephen founded the Orthodox Zagrađe Monastery near his realm's seat in Herceg Novi, modern-day Montenegro, and the Savina Monastery, also near Herceg Novi. Stephen Vukčić was merried three times: in 1424 to Jelena Balšić (died in 1453); in 1455 to Varvara (possibly of the del Balzo family, died in 1459); and in 1460 to Cecilie, a German lady.
