		But Tvrtko's main contribution to a potential Serbian revival was the dutiful participation of his troops, under celebrated commander Vlatko Vukovic, at the side of his ally prince Lazar, at the Battle of Kosovo.
		Tvrtko's correspondence with Western capitals shortly after the battle - based on his surviving troops' reports and claiming victory - are among the earliest surviving documents of the event.
		But to his detriment, neither he nor his successors (nor brethren further east) were able to command allegiance of their subjects to an extent necessary to cohesively face the invading menace that was soon to engulf all of the Balkans.

		The Bosnian Kingdom blended cultural influences from east and west; although nominally Roman Catholic, the Bosnian kings embraced elements of Byzantine culture and court ceremonial, and formed alliances and dynastic marriages with the neighboring rulers of both Croatian-Dalmatian and Serb states.
		At its largest extent, under King Tvrtko Kotromanic, the Bosnian Kingdom included most of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the exception of north-western Bosnia, as well as parts of Dalmatia and western Serbia.
		Discord among his heirs weakened the kingdom after his death, and Bosnia and the Serb principalities to the east were unable to prevent Ottoman Turkish incursions into the western Balkans.
