Dečani chrysobulls
The Dečani chrysobulls (Serbian: Дечанске хрисовуље, romanized: Dečanske hrisovulje) alternatively known as the Dečani charters (Serbian: Дечанске повеље, romanized: Dečanske povelje) are chrysobulls dating to 1330–1345 which contain a detailed list of landholdings and tax farming rights which the monastery of Visoki Dečani held over settlements and communities in the Kingdom of Serbia, in an area which spanned from present-day southern Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and parts of northern Albania. The chrysobulls were signed by Stefan Dečanski, the King of Serbia, who confirmed the existing rights and gave new ones to the monastery.
