 Wikipedia: Duklja
Duklja (Latin: Doclea or Dioclea, after the town of Dioclea) was a small medieval state located in today's Montenegro and northern Albania including the city of Skadar.
One of the famous mentions of Duklja is the historical document known as Presbyter Diocleas: Libellus Gothorum or Ljetopis popa Dukljanina or Barski rodoslov which was written by a priest from Dioclea (Bar) around 1180-1196 and which includes valuable information about these and related territories.
Duklja was populated by Christians of the Latin Rite and was initially usually under the suzerainty of the Byzantium or of Bulgaria up to the 11th century when the dukes of Duklja started having noticable success in their struggle for independence.

 Dioclea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
Diocleia is mentioned by Ptolemy (V, ii, 23), where the former editions read Dokela; this is probably the native name, which must have been hellenized at a later time; in the same way Doclea in Dalmatia is more commonly called Dioclea.
The autonomous rights of Dioclea are proved by its coins struck in the reign of Elagabalus (Head, Hist.
An inscription found near Doghla, or Dola, a village in the vilayet of Smyrna, shows that it must be the site of Dioclea, though there are no ruins.

As for the later period (1500s on), it is evident that Boka bay inhabitants considered themselves "Slovins" (Catholic version of nascent pan-Slavism) and, when referring to themselves they used Croatian name (for instance, in famous dedication Kotor noble Maro Dragovic addressed the father of Croatian philology Bartol Kasic in late 1500s).
However, historically Dioclea came under the Serbian rule in early 13th century (Stefan Nemanja, who fled to Dioclea in 1130., was baptised in Roman rite, since there was no Eastern Orthodoxy in Dioclea in that time.
In early 1600s, many Catholic Montenegrins were, due to lack of clergy and the privileged status of Orthodox church within Ottoman empire (priviled when compared to Catholic) shifted their denominational allegiances to the Orthodox (mostly) and Islamic faith.

 Montenegro
A kingdom in the Balkan Peninsula, on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea; the territory was in ancient times a portion of the Roman province of Dalmatia.
Emperor Diocletian made Southern Dalmatia a separate province, Praevalis (Dioclea, Dioclitia) with Dioclea as its capital.
From the seventh century the north-western portion of the peninsula began to be invaded by Slav tribes; one of these, the Serbs, settled in the territory which they still possess, and founded there several principalities (Zupanate), the most southern of which was called Zeta, or (after the ancient Dioclea) Duklja.

 THE CROATS IN ALBANIA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
The Priest of Dioclea wrote that the Coastland was divided into two parts: the western called White, and southern called Red, Croatia.
In his time the priest knew exactly where Red Croatia was for he lived there and his equating of it with Dioclea is confirmed by the Byzantine writers, too.
After the Croats came to Dalmatia a part split off, occupied Dioclea and Illyricum and then, for some unknown reasons, split up further and settled in various places, possibly making common cause with other Slavs against the Byzantines.

 Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja - Wikpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
The Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja (Presbyter Diocleas: Libellus Gothorum; Ljetopis popa Dukljanina, Barski Rodoslov) is a medieval chronicle originally written by a Catholic priest from Dioclea (modern Bar) around 1172-1196.
This chronicle, built round a core written in Slavonic, but added to by a bishop of Bar intent on demonstrating his diocese' superiority over that of Split, is one of the oldest known written sources, but it has survived only in several late and widely divergent Latin translations from the 16th century.
Ragusa had some claims to be considered the natural ecclesiastical centre of South Dalmatia but those of Dioclea (Bar) to this new metropolitan status were now vigorously pushed especially as the Pope intended Serbia to be attached to Dioclea.

 The Carbohydrate-binding Specificity and Molecular Modelling of Canavalia maritima and Dioclea grandiflora Lectins
The carbohydrate-binding specificity of lectins from the seeds of Canavalia maritima and Dioclea grandiflora was studied by hapten-inhibition of haemagglutination using various sugars and sugar derivatives as inhibitors, including N-acetylneuraminic acid and N-acetylmuramic acid.
In recent years, lectins have become very attractive proteins due to their extensive use as probes for both the characterization and isolation of simple and complex sugars (Lis and Sharon 1991) and as useful tools in immunological studies (Moreira et al.
Studies on molecular modelling and interaction with sugars and sugar derivatives of two lectins from the sub-tribe Diocleinae, Canavalia maritima (ConM) and Dioclea grandiflora (DGL) were performed in order to provide relevant molecular models of lectin-sugar interaction.

He made Maximian an Augustus; Constantius and Galerius Maximianus, with the cognomen Armentarius ["Herdsman"], he created Caesars, giving to Constantius, when his prior wife was divorced, Theodora, the stepdaughter of Herculius Maximian.
