Description
The charter, which is mentioning the settlement site Lěskovica, 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 prida kraljevьstvo mi selišta zapoustěvьša ōt věka. Ime selištu: Brěstь i Suhogrьlь i Lěskovica). The Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos in 1340/1341 confirmed the village Lěskovica as a property of the Hilandar Monastery (τὸ χωρίον τὸ Λεασκόβιτζον μετὰ τῆς νομῆς καὶ περιοχῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν δικαίων).The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed again the donation of the village Lěskovica, a former land of Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, to the Monastery of Hilandar after May 1343 (I u Lukavici: selo Brěstь, selo Suhogrьlo, selo Lěskovica/Selo Lěskovica). The village of Lěskovica is registered in the Defters for the Sanjak Köstendil in 1519 and from 1570 to 1573.

Collective Charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin for the Hilandar Monastery | Source | Тhe chrysobull charter of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321) for the Tower of Hrusija of the Monastery of Hilandar on Mount Athos, which confirmed the earlier possessions of the monastery, is dated to the years 1303-1304 (or after 1331). The charter is not preserved in its original form. The text survived in four transcripts, which all contain later interpolations. |
Štip St. Archangel Michael 2 | Source | The present charter is a falsified document of Stefan Uroš IV Dušan, which confirms the donation of the Church of St. Archangel Michael in Štip to the Monastery of Chilandar. The date given in the document is the year 1336, but, based on the king's signature and the changes in the typologies of the mentioned settlements, it seems that it has to be dated in the years before the coronation of Stefan Dušan to emperor (i.e. 1343 to 1345). |
