Stefan Uroš IV Dušan also gave 50 people from the suburb of Štip to the Church of Saint Archangel Michael (I prida kraljevьstvo mi crьkvi arhïstratigu ōt pod’gradija štip’skago .n. ljudi).

Štip St. Archangel Michael 1 Source The present charter is a forged document for the Monastery of Chilandar attributed to King Stefan Uroš II Milutin. It summarises the possessions of Chilandar and confirms earlier donations amongst others in the town of Štip and its surroundings. The document was created in the years 1371 to 1378 during a legal dispute with the Monastery of St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos based on the existing charter of King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan from the 1330s. The charter is attesting a state of possessions of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip as they existed in the 1330s.
