Drijeva

Drijeva (Serbian Cyrillic: Дријева), known in Venetian as Narenta, was a medieval customs town and marketplace located in what is today the village of Gabela, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] It was held by the Kingdom of Serbia until the War of Hum (1326–29), when it was passed to the Banate of Bosnia.[2] It was an early colony of the Republic of Ragusa established in the second half of the 14th century.

Ragusan merchants Mihailo Rastić (Latin: Michaeli de Resti/Rasti; fl. 1389–96) and Stefan Marinov (Latin: Stefanus Marini; fl. 1389–d. 1401) imported salt from Valona to Drijeva.[3] Marinov's creditor was Ragusan merchant Radin Ilić (Latin: Radinus/Radino Hilich; fl. 1391–92) from Drijeva.[3] Many merchants came from Drijeva.[4] Names of individuals from Drijeva have been recorded in documents; examples include: Novak Radosalić (1406),[5] powerful merchant Ostoja Radosalić (fl. 1419–32),[6] servant Maroje Radosalić (fl. 1436–49),[7] Radivoj Bosnić (January 1442),[8] Vladislav Radosalić (fl. 1449–53),[6] Radonja Radosalić (fl. 1457–64),[6] and brothers Marko and Maroje Bosnić (1457).[8]
