Zachumlie or Zahumlje
Zahumlje, also known as the Land of Hum, was a medieval principality located in today's Herzegovina.
Zahumlje, at various times, bordered the lands of Narenta/Pagania to the west and southwest, Travunja to the east and southeast, and probably Bosnia to the north.
Porphyrogenitus descibes them in De Administrando Imperio as a Serb tribe which settled in present Hercegovina around the town of Trebinje at the start of the 6th century along with . Travunia entered into confederations with the Serb princes of Raska early on.
Croat academics have pointed out that Travunia could have been Croat, but this is not generally accepted since these claims rely on Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja, which has been discredited as unreliable and full of errors. It is now accepted in most academic circles outside of Croatia that Travunia/TravunjaBosnia / Bosna and Pagania / Paganija were settled with Serb tribes, as it states in De Administrando Imperio.
