It's founder, Kulin, was made Bosnia's Ban by theEastern Roman Emperor Manuel I Comnenus in1180 , but he was present in Bosnia since its takeover by the Byzantines from the Hungarians in1163 . He was one of the greatest early Bosnian rulers and gradually made Bosnia an ordered state. It's son, Stjepan, succeeded him as Ban and totally reversed his father pro-Bosnian politics into a pro-Roman Catholic ecclesiastical order. This brought downfall upon the dynasty of Kulinić - as the Bosnian Bogumils dethroned him and forced him to retreat to his son in Usora - where he died in1236 . Stevan's son - Sibislav - was only aPrince ofUsora that attempted to restore his House's glory by fighting Bosnia's Grand BanMatej Ninoslav at the end of his reign.Rulers
