By
the end of the 13 th century and at the beginning of the 14 th, the
majority of the inhabitants of Bosnia and Hercegovina had become
followers of Bogomil's heresy. During the Crusade against Bosnian
cathars (members of Bosnian Church), thousands have been killed and burn
at stake.
After the failure of the Crusades of 1225 and those of
1235-1239, the Popes sent the Dominican Fathers, and a little later the
Franciscan Fathers to Bosnia to convert Bosnians to catholicism. Father
Gerardus Eudes, General of the Franciscan Order, on the request of Pope
Benedict XII (1334-1342) had established a special Franciscan unit,
Vicaria Bosnae.
