Description

In the boundary description of the Church of St. Nikola the village Carevo selo is mentioned (I ješte priloži svetoje carstvo mi episkopii zletovskoi Svetomu Arhangelu u Pijanci crьkov ь Svetago Nikole s ь selomь i sь vinogradomь i sь voděnicami i sь lugomь, i zemle stlьpь, počьiši otь Svetago Nikole do luga i vyše luga okola Brěsta luky do puta koi prěhodi otь Careva Sela i vyše Careve Vode po trapu). The village Carovo selo is registered in the Defters for the Nahiye Pijanec under the year 1519 and 1573 [Our reasoning is based on the premise that the toponym “Car” (i.e. Tsar, Emperor) bears witness to imperial presence at the respective place. The toponym “Car” obviously indicates, apart from a possible physical presence of the Serbian Emperor, also a possibility of a causal link with the Byzantine Emperor or the Bulgarian Tsar].
