The paper deals with the emergence of the narrative surrounding the motif of the land of Dioclea in the lives of Stefan Nemanja, written by his two sons – Sava and Stefan, as well as Domentian. The three sources are not only mutually dependent but, taken together, they form a complex, and sometimes conflicting, narrative about the beginnings of the holy dynasty established by Stefan Nemanja. Dioclea was gradually transformed from just one of the many provinces taken over by Nemanja to his ‘patrimony’ and ‘heritage’ until it finally was acknowledged as ‘the great kingdom from the beginning’. The transformation is important because it reflects the unstable political conditions, the clashes between the two political centers and the two branches of the ruling family, and indirectly even the dispute between the two seats of the Roman Catholic Church in the Adriatic
