Middle Ages
Among other Bosnian župas, Bored župa or Brod župa, which includes "Bilina poila", is mentioned in the charters. The place refers to one part of the town of Zenica, today known as Bilino Polje.[1] The “Confessio” (abjuration) was signed at Bilino Polje by seven priors of the Bosnian Church in this field, on 8 April 1203. The same document was brought to Buda, in 30 April by Giovanni da Casamari and Kulin and two abbots, where it was examined by Emeric, King of Hungary, and the high clergy.[2][3]Confessio records that a group of Bogomil leaders renounced patareni's teachings before Innocent III's court chaplain John of Casamaris (Giovanni da Casamari).[1] Bosnian krstjani's presence in the Zenica area and its status as a seat of the Bosnian Church is supported by written documents, but also by engravings which illuminate the church's hierarchy.[1][4][5][6][7][8]
