Even though certain kings were deposed from the throne, the alternative ruler was always selected from among the Kotromanići. This allowed Bosnia and its sovereigns to establish a resilient monarchy situated between Latin and Orthodox Christianity, as well as between the Hungarian kings and the Ottoman Sultans, accepting and merging influences from all sides. The rapid territorial and economic development of the state during the reign of Ban Stjepan II (r. 1322 –1353), coupled with the growth of the ruler’s personal prestige, required the construction and promotion of a dynastic identity. This was aided by the fact that members of the Kotromanić family were allied through marriage with many distinguished noble and royal houses in the region. Stjepan II himself was a grandson of the Serbian King Dragutin Nemanjić, and he also descended from the illustrious dynasties of the Hungarian Árpáds, Byzantine Komnenos, Angelos, and Laskaris, as well as from the Venetian Dandolos. Furthermore, Ban Stjepan II married off his daughter Elizabeth to the Angevin King Louis the Great of Hungary, which was a testament that his family was almost on equal footing with the most potent European dynasties of the time. Stjepan’s dynastic enterprise was further developed and enhanced for the coronation programme of his nephew Ban Tvrtko, who ruled from 1353, and was crowned “king of the Serbs and Bosnia” in 1377. The new exalted regal position demanded a change in the way that the ruler and his lineage were perceived, and this was reflected in ruling ideology, heraldry, the emphasis which was placed on genealogy etc. In the fifteenth century,","PeriodicalId":435881,"journal":{"name":"Südost-Forschungen","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132241874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Weary with waiting for the scholars’ long-promised treatises and papers written in the local public sphere, Alexandru Odobescu “set off” to hear from his contemporaries the stories, traditions, legends preserved for generations. He did not assume a heavily-scientific program and hoped to collect enough evidence which was to be used to create national histories.

Trends and Desiderata in Current Research on East and Southeast European The history of infrastructure is a relatively young research field. This paper intends to give an overview of current trends in East and Southeast European research regarding the history of infrastructure and to stress the importance of this young research field for the future study of the history of Southeast Europe. This new interdisciplinary approach, based on concepts of “spatial turn” and “mental map”, is currently popular among historians of Eastern Europe. However, there is still a lack of such studies about Southeast Europe. The importance of an interdisciplinary history of infrastructure is due to the importance of infrastructure for the process of national spatial integration. This process can be analysed on macro-, midand micro-level. Railways played a central role in the mental and material construction of the national space. However, they caused not only integrative but also disintegrative effects. Through such an approach to the nation-building processes in Southeast Europe, we can gain a new perspective on this topic and analyse the process of construction of national spaces after 1878, 1918 and 1991. This process still has not been finished in Southeast Europe.","PeriodicalId":435881,"journal":{"name":"Südost-Forschungen","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127034838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
