Evo napokon da se i ja ponovim malo, odnosno moje enovine, pa sam ubacio bannere i separatore, te se ovim putem posebno zahvaljujem zagorec89.

U ovom članku se radi o tome zašto se moje enovine zovu "List Bobovac"



"List Bobovac" su novine vareških Hrvata, a Vareš je mali gradić koji se nalazi u srednjoj Bosni, s jako bogatom povijesnom baštinom, prvi puta se još spominje u antičko doba, te je poznat po svojim majdanima i rudarima.





Što je Bobovac?

Bobovac je najznačajniji i najbolje utvrđeni grad srednjovjekovne Bosne podignut na strmoj, stepenastoj stijeni južnih padina planinskog masiva Dragovskih i Mijakovskih poljica iznad ušća Mijakovske rijeke u Bukovicu, jugozapadno od Vareša. Zahvaljujući položaju i opremljenosti važio je za najbolje utvrđeni bosanski srednjovjekovni grad. Podigao ga je ban Stjepan II Kotromanić polovicom 14. stoljeća, a kasnije je služio kao sjedište većine bosanskih vladara, točnije od perioda vladavine Stjepana II, preko bosanskih kraljeva, sve do prestanka bosanske samostalnosti turskim osvajanjem (1463.).



Prvi put se Bobovac u pisanim dokumentima pominje 1349. Bobovac se sastojao od gornjeg grada sa četvrtastom kulom, čiji ostaci i danas postoje, i donjeg grada, na stepeniku nižem oko 20 metara, poligonskog oblika oko 40 metara dužine i oko 25 metara širine, od čega se danas raspoznaje dvorište i bunar. Bobovac je zbog svog geostrateškog, vojnog i političkog značaja bio je meta napada osvajača. Njegov položaja i konfiguracija terena je omogućavao obranu i bio je vojno i administrativno sjedište bosanskih kraljeva uz Kraljevu Sutjesku, koja je bila bez fortifikacija i imala više administrativno-politički značaj.



U njemu se čuvala bosanska kraljevska kruna. Tu se nalazila i kraljevska grobna kapela za koju se pretpostavlja da je kralj Ostoja naredio da se stara bobovačka crkva preuredi za tu svrhu. U njoj su bila sahranjena tri bosanska kralja: Stjepan Ostoja, Tvrtko II Kotromanić i Stjepan Tomašević. Bobovac su Osmanlije opsjeli 19. maja a osvojili 21. maja 1463. nakon samo tri dana borbe. Jedni izvori navode da su se za grad vodile teške borbe i da su Osmanlije pod gradom upotrijebili topove koje im je slao Nijemac imenom Jörg iz Nürnberga. Također se govori da je knez Radak, koji je upravljao u to vrijeme gradom predao Bobovac misleći da će za to biti nagrađen, ali su ga Osmanlije nakon predaje pogubili.



Brzi pad Bobovca, za koji se vjerovalo da može izdržati i dvogodišnju opsadu je iznenadio kralja Stjepana Tomaševića i onemogućio ga da sakupi vojsku i dobije stranu pomoć. Zbog toga su se i posade Visokog i nekih drugih gradova predale bez borbe. Nakon njegovog zauzimanja, Osmanlije su ga razorili ali su zbog njegovog izuzetnog strateškog značaja ponovo sagradili neke objekte potrebne za njihov boravak. Osmanska posada je boravila u Bobovcu sve do 1626. kada je napušten zbog gubitka strateškog značaja nastavkom osmanskih osvajanja prema sjeveru kada ostaje duboko u pozadini. Kraljevska grobna kapela je rekonstruirana, ali nekim nepriznatim metodama tako da je njena vrijednost umanjena.



Eto to bi bilo to i da ne zaboravim teta je na kraju članka...



ENGLISH VERSION

You may be wondering why the newspaper called "List Bobovac”, some know, some do not, so I will explain the name with this article!

Real Life “List Bobovac" are a newspaper of the croatian people in small town named Vareš, it’s a former mining city in central Bosnia, where I was born. That’s the main reason why I named my newspaper with the same name.





Bobovac is the most important and best fortified city of medieval Bosnia it was built on a rock at the south side of the mountains named “Dragovskih and Mijakovskih poljica” , southwest of Vareš. Thanks to the location and equipment it was considered as the best Bosnian medieval fortified city. The city was raised by the ban Stephen II Kotromanić in the 14th century, and later served as the headquarters of most rulers, especially at the period of the reign of Stephen II, the Bosnian kings, until the end of Bosnia's independence, when the Turks conquered Bosnia in the 1463. year.



Bobovac due to its geo-strategic, military and political significance was the target of conquerors. It’s location and terrain allowed the defense and was a military and administrative headquarters of the Bosnian kings together with Kraljeva Sutjeska (about 10 - 15 km away from Bobovac), which was without fortification, and had more administrative and political significance.

It kept the Bosnian royal crown. There used to be a royal burial chapel, in it were buried three Bosnian king Stjepan Ostoja, Tvrtko II Kotromanić and Stjepan Tomasevic. The Ottomans besieged Bobovac at the19th May and conquered the city at 21st May 1463. after only three days of fighting. Some sources say that the city led to heavy fighting and that the Ottomans used guns sent by a German named Joerg from Nuernberg. It is also said that Prince Radak, the person who operated at that time with the city, surrendered Bobovac thinking they will be rewarded, but he was executed by the Ottomans after surrendering.



Rapid decline of Bobovac, which is believed to be able to withstand a two-year siege, surprised the King Stjepan Tomasevic and prevented him to gather troops and gain foreign aid. Thus, the crews of Visoko and some other towns surrendered without a fight. After his capture, Bobovac was destroyed by the Ottomans, but due to his great strategic importance once again built some facilities required for their stay. The Ottoman garrison was in Bobovac until the 1626. when it was abandoned due to loss of the strategic importance of the continuation of the Ottoman conquest to the north when the city remains deep in the background. The royal burial chapel has been reconstructed, but some of unapproved methods, so that it’s value is impaired.



Showed rock called Radak’s rock, the above-mentioned prince who governed Bobovac, according to legend, Radak surrendered the city and agreed to serve the Sultan, but the Ottomans thrown him into the pit from that rock, with the words "If you betrayed your crown, you will also betray our crown".



End for the end xD
