1391 as
Stefan Dabiša by the mercy of God King of Serbs, Bosnia, the Hum Land, the Lower Edges, the Western Lands, Usora, Soli and the Drina. At the time of his assention to power, Bosnia was already decentralized by the semi-independent nobility. Members of the House of Sanković, Prince Beljak and Duke Radič, ruled independently in the
Hum and
Popovo. They gave
Konavle to the
Republic of Dubrovnik and Dubrovnik started to rile up
Kotor and other
Dalmatian cities from the King's rule, asking them to reaccept the supreme rule of the Hungarian King Sigismund, but they refused. King Stefan Dabiša dispatched Duke

Zadar under his supreme rule, but Vuk worked for the King of Naples.

Ivaniš Horvat, a subject of the King Naples refused to serve King Dabiša. Dabiša dispatched Prince Ivan Radivojević to take
Omiš from Horvat as a punishment. The Hungarian King Sigismund moved to destroy both Horvat and Dabiša. The Hungarian Army besieged and burned to the ground
Dobor in the lower stream of
Bosna. Dabiša arrived there, recognized King Sigismund's supreme rule and gave up
Dalmatia and
Croatia in his name. in turn, the Hungarian King nominated him Prince of the Szomod Principality.
