Years: 1459 - 1459

The Franciscans, who had established a network of friaries in Bosnia during the fourteenth century, have spent more than a century trying to convert members of the Bosnian church to mainstream Catholicism.

This campaign receives the full support of the Bosnian king, Stjepan Tomash, who in 1459 summons the clergy of the Bosnian church and orders them to convert to Catholicism or leave the kingdom.

The back of the Bosnian church is broken when most of the clergy converts.
