Notes |
- first name also rendered Stipan, Stefan, and Stephen, from Latin Stephanus) ruled from 1461 to 1463 as the last King of Bosnia . He was also the last despot of Serbia in 1459
According to "The Late Medieval Balkans, A Critical Survey from the Late Twelfth Century to the Ottoman Conquest" (1994) by J. V. A. Fine, Lazar Brankovic of Serbia died in 1458. He was succeeded by his older brother Stefan Brankovic , a blind man. Stjepan Tomaš took advantage of the occasion to campaign against Serbia. He managed to capture Srebrenica and a number of other towns previously held by the House of Brankovic . In 1459, Tomaš entered negotiations with Helena Palaiologina , widow of Lazar. The result of the negotiations was the marriage of Tomaševi to Helena Brankovic , the eldest daughter of Lazar and Palaiologina. The marriage took place at Smederevo on 1 April 1459. The younger Helena changed her name to "Maria" at the time of her wedding. Tomaševi replaced the deposed Stefan on the throne of Serbia.
His reign in Serbia was short-lived. On 20 June, 1459, forces under Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire managed to capture Smederevo and proceeded to annex the remnants of the Serbian state to their realm. Tomaševi and Maria fled to Bosnia, seeking refuge at the court of his father.
On 10 July 1461, Tomaš died. Tomaševi succeeded him as King of Bosnia. In 1461, Tomaševi sent to Pope Pius II for help in the face of an impending Ottoman invasion. In November , 1461, a papal legate presented Tomaševi with a royal crown , offered by the Pope.
Later, in 1463, he sent for help from the Venetians . However, none ever reached Bosnia. In 1463, Sultan Mehmed II led an army into the country. The royal city of Bobovac soon fell, leaving Tomaševi to retreat to Jajce and later to Kljuc . The Bosnian Kingdom was soon conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The King was captured in Klju and despite promises to the contrary, brought back to Jajce and beheaded on the nearby field known as Carevo Polje (Tzar Fields).
According to Fine, Maria survived by fleeing to the coast of the Adriatic Sea . According to "The Fall of Constantinople 1453" (1965) by Steven Runciman , Maria later joined the harem of an unnamed Turkish general. The "Massarelli manuscript" of the 16th reports that Tomaševi and Maria had children. However none are mentioned by name. Their eventual fates are unknown.
In 1888, renowned Croat archeologist Ciro Truhelka excavated a locality in Jajce known as "Kraljev Grob" (King's Tomb) and found a skeleton of a decapitated adult male. Though there is no direct evidence that these are the remains of Stjepan Tomaševi folk tradition and circumstantial evidence make it almost a foregone conclusion that they are. The remains have since been housed, with minor interceptions, in the Franciscan monastery in Jajce .
