King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan mentioned the settlement of Kučьkověne in his donation of the Church of Saint Demetrius (Metohь Svetii Dimitrїe u Prilěpě, što priložihu Misinopolitova dětьca, sь nivijemь i sь vinogradi i sь voděnicami i sь Kučьkověne selištemь i sь panagiromь i sь vьseju pravinoju togo). In the year 1343/44 King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed the donation of a field near Kučkověne (Drouga niva po srědě Kučkověnь). The settlement of Kučkověne is mentioned a second time, when the King donated also a watermill and a vineyard (Sselište (!) Kučkověne sь nivijemь, sь voděnicijemь, sь vinogrady, sь vsěmi pravinami). In the year 1344/45 the King confirmed the donation of a half of a field near Kučkovьanь (Niva po srědě Kučkovьanь u Vincehь). Because of the absence of the settlement's type in the charter Vassiliki Kravari assumed a transformation from a settlement (selište) to a village (selo). But there is no clear evidence in the written sources for this assumption.
