Description

The charter, which is mentioning the settlement site Brěstokь, 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, which was built by the Serbian nobleman Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, as they existed in the 1330s. The charter also attests the resettlement of abandoned settlements with people from foreign lands by the Serbian nobleman Hrelja (I selište Brěstokь prězь Luka). The Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos in 1340/1341 confirmed the settlement site Brěstokь as a property of the Hilandar Monastery (πέραν τοῦ ἐκεῖσε ποραμοῦ, τερ ον ἀγρίδιον τὸ Μπροάστοτζιν). The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of the village Brěstokь, a former land of Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, to the Monastery of Hilandar after May 1343 (drugi Brěstь prěz Lukavicu/I po ōne strane rěke selo Brěstovica).
