Lopušani Place The Byzantine Co-Emperor Michael IX Palaiologos donated in ca. 1299/1300 the village of Lopušani to the Monastery of Saint Nikita (χωρίον καλούμενον τὴν Λούψιανιν μετὰ πάντων τῶν δικαίων αὐτοῦ). The localisation is uncertain and follows the suggestion of Kravari 136, s.v. Lopušani. In a charter of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos - at the instigation of the Serbian king Stefan Uroš II Milutin - in ca. 1299/1300 (or 1308?) for the tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Chilandar on the Holy Mount Athos the donation of the respective village is confirmed (iže nareč(e)noje selo Lopušani s pravinami jego). The forged transcript A of the collective charter of Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Monastery of Chilandar reports that the village of Lopušani was granted to the Monastery of Saint Nikita near Skopje and afterwards to Tower of Hrusija in the vicinity of the Chilandar Monastery by the Serbian King (I dahь..i Lopušane,... To vʼse utʼvrьdivь i zapisavь dahь Svetomu Nikitě, a Svetago Nikitu dahь mojemu pirʼgu sь vʼsěmь jego utʼvrьždenijemь).
