Zachumlie or Zahumlje
Zahumlje, also known as the Land of Hum, was a medieval principality located in today's Southern Dalmatia and south-western Bosnia.
Zahumlje, at various times, bordered the lands of Neretva/Narenta/Pagania to the west and southwest, Travunja to the east and southeast, and Serbia to the north. It encompassed the southern half of the what is today the Split-Dalmatia county.
Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos descibes Zahumlje and Zahumljani in De Administrando Imperio as a Serb tribe which settled in present Hercegovina around the Hum mountain region at the start of the 6th century. Zahumlje entered into confederations with the Serb princes of Raska early on. The Serb prince Caslav Klonimirovic of the House of Vlastimirovic fully incorporated this area into his domain between 927 AD and and 940. The Serb prince Caslav Klonimirovic of the House of Vlastimirovic fully incorporated this area into his domain between 927 AD and and 940. After the death of Caslav in 960, Travunia was contested between Byzantium and Bulgaria. But by 968, it was violently conquered by the Croatian King Kresimir but it returned to the Serb princes of the House of Vojislavljevic of Zeta by the middle of the 11th century and later to Serb princes of the House of Nemanjic of Raska.
Croatian academics have pointed out that Zahumlje could have been Croats, 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/Travunja Bosnia / Bosna and Pagania / Paganija and Zeta / Duklja were settled with Serb tribes, as it states in De Administrando Imperio.
