The charter, which is mentioning Brěstĭ, 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 (i prida kraljevĭstvo mi crĭkvĭ velikoslavnago arĭchïstratiga Michaila iže vĭ Štipu gradu, jegože protosevastĭ Chrelja otĭ osnovanija ljuboviju duše si sĭzdalĭ i ukrasilĭ krasotami crĭkvnymi). 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). The Byzantine Emperor Andronikos III Palaiologos in 1340/1341 confirmed the village Brěst as a property of the Hilandar Monastery (ἀλλὰ δὴ καὶ τὸ χωρίον τὸ Μπράστον, μετὰ τῆς νομῆς καὶ περιοχῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὧν ἔχει δικαίων).The Serbian King Stefan Uroš IV Dušan confirmed again the donation of the village Brěst, a former land of Stefan Hrelja Dragovol, with all boundaries and rights to the Monastery of Hilandar after May 1343 (I u Lukavici: selo Brěstь/I selo Brěst sь vʼsěmi megjami i pravinami sela togo). The village of Brěst is registered in the Defters for the Sanjak Köstendil in 1519 and from 1570 to 1573.
