Tvrtko crowned himself on
26 October 1377 as Stefan Tvrtko I
by the mercy of God King of Serbs, Bosnia and the Seaside and the Western Lands. Today, some historians consider that he was crowned in
Monastery of Mileševa, even there is no evidence of that. Another possibility, supported by archaeological evidences, is that he was crowned in Mile near
Visoko in the church which was built in time of
Stephen II Kotromanić's reign, where he was also buried alongside his uncle Stjepan II.
[2][3] Stefan was the standard title of the rulers from the
House of Nemanjić. In 1375–1377 Tvrtko created a unique genealogy that explicitly stated his descendency from the
House of Nemanjić.
