History of Bosnia
In the first centuries AD, Bosnia was part of the Roman Empire. After the fall of the empire, Bosnia was claimed by the Byzantine Empire and the Western heirs of Rome. Slavs settled in the 7th century, and Serbia and Croatia ruled over parts of Bosnia in the 9th century. With the exception of today's eastern Herzegovina and Humine for the most part of 10th and 11th century Bosnia was ruled by Croatian kingdom. During the 11th and 12th century, power over Bosnia was seized by the kingdom of Hungary. Medieval Bosnian political unit (first duchy, and then the kingdom) gained independence about 1200. It’s difficult to determine the population in the 14th and 15th century, but it is believed to be between 500,000 and one million.
