Description

The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of the mountain Ōgraždeno and Draguljevo with surrounding area, a former land of Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, to the Monastery of Hilandar after May 1343. In the boundary description of the land also the ford of Stavrakь is attested (I planina Ōgraždeno i Draguljevo i podьplaninьje sь vseju ōblastiju. I megja imь: brodь Stavrakь, niz Veliju rěku/ I planina Ōgraždeno i Draguljevo i podьplaninje sь vseju ōblastiju. I megja imь: brodь Stavrakь, niz Veliju rěku). The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed in the prostagma charter issued between 1349 and 1353 that the land in Strumica region belonged to the Hilandar Monastery. The boundary in dispute was deliminated by the čelnik Branilo. The ford of Stavrakь is listed among the boundary marks of the deliminated area (I utesaše megju brodь Stavrakь nizь Veliju rěku upada Vasilica).

Prostagma Charter of the Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan for the Hilandar Monastery Source The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan issued the prostagma charter in order to confirm proprietorial rights of the Hilandar Monastery over an area in the Strumica region. The charter might have been written between 1349 and 1353.
Štip St. Archangel Michael 2 Source The present charter is a falsified document of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, which confirms the donation of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip to the Monastery of Chilandar. The date given in the document is the year 1336, but, based on the king's signature and the changes in the typologies of the mentioned settlements, it seems that it has to be dated in the years before the coronation of Stefan Dušan to emperor (i.e. 1343 to 1345).
