Description
The Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo appears for the first time in the document collection of the Archbishop of Ohrid Demetrios Chomatenos. One monk from the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo Gerasimos claimed damages for the properties, which were illegally extorted from his relative by the Priest Moschos (Ὁ γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἄνω Πολόγου ὁρμώμενος καὶ ἐν τῇ σεβασμίᾳ μονῇ τῆς ὑπεραγίας δεσποίνης ἡμῶν Θεοτόκου τῇ ἐν Κτεατόβῃ ἀσκούμενος μοναχὸς Γεράσιμος). In the list of 14 abbots of the Serbian church the abbot Theōdorь from the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo occupies the tenth place (htětovskii Theōdorь). The Serbian king Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, together with his son the Young King (mlad kralь) Uroš, confirmed old and several new possessions to the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo. The Serbian emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan donated the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo with villages to the Monastery of Hilandar (U Polozě crьkovь Mati božija Htětovska i sь seli). The monastery was abandoned and fell into decay during the later Ottoman period. The building material from the monastery was used in the construction of the nowadays ruined Baltepe fortress.

| Stefan Uroš II Milutin's Charter concerning the rank order of Serbian bishops and abbots | Source | The Serbian king Stefan Uroš II Milutin together with archbishop Nikodim confirm the hierarchical order of the bishops and abbots of the most significant serbian bishoprics and monasteries.

| Stefan Uroš IV Dušan's Charter for the Monastery of the Holy Virgin in Htětovo | Source | King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan's Charter given to the Polog Monastery of Bogorodica Htětovska (Monastery of the Holy Virgin of Htetovo), well known as the Htětovo`s Charter. The Charter was issued between 24 September 1345 – 15 October 1345 (as terminus ante quem), when Stefan Dušan already started to use title “Master of almost the entire Empire of Romania” and for terminus post quem to be the period after the summer/autumn of 1343 when Stefan Dušan started using for the first time the title “Master and/or King of Greek lands”. |
| Stefan Uroš IV Dušan's General Charter for the Monastery of Hilandar | Source | The Serbian Emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan's issued the so-called "General Charter (Opšta hrisovulja)" to the Monastery of Hilandar, through which he confirmed all previous donations and records of the land-inventory of the monastery. Although the charter bears the date 1348, it is with the utmost probability not an original. Lidija Slaveva considers the charter to be a copy that was written after the year 1365. |
