Nikola, a Franciscan born in Zadar, [1] [2] was appointed the bishop of Duvno on 2 January 1460, as it is evident from the consistorial minutes from that period. [1] [3] The circumstances of his appointment were complicated, as the territory of the diocese was a domain of Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, a nobleman who was a member of and the protector of the Bosnian Church, in conflict with the Catholic King Thomas. Stjepan's domains were at the time ravaged by the Ottomans, the allies of his son Vladislav Hercegović, with whom he was also in conflict. [3] During 1461, Nikola sent the Pope several requests, granted to him with the intercession from the archbishop of Zadar Maffeo Valaresso. [1] [3] Due to the Ottoman incursions, Nikola, like the local knyaz Pavao Klešić and many influential people from the area, fled. For some time, Nikola resided in his native Zadar. At the end of July and early August 1463, Nikola was in Venice with the papal delegate Cardinal Bessarion, with a task to convince the Republic of Venice to go to the war against the Ottomans. Bessarion appointed Nikola to preach for the Crusade in the areas of Furlania and Istria. Nikola went preaching in August 1463 and, at the same time, tried to get his transfer in Gemona, in the region of Furlania. On 3 April 1464, the Gemona city council accepted him as their bishop; however, it remains unknown whether the appointment was confirmed by the Pope or whether he was relegated to his episcopal duties in Duvno. [2] Dominik Mandić wrote that the Holy See probably didn't allow the transfer and forced him to either to return to Duvno or the nearby Dalmatian town from where he could administer the diocese. [4] Nothing is known about Nikola after 1464, [4] [5] and by the time of the appointment of his successor Vid of Hvar in 1489, he was dead for a long time. [4]

The Diocese of Duvno was a Latin rite particular church of the Catholic Church that was established in the 14th century with a seat in present-day Tomislavgrad in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Split, and during the 17th century of the Archdiocese of Dubrovnik. The diocese consisted of four parishes: Roško Polje, Duvno, Posušje and Rama.

Madius was a prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the bishop of Duvno from between 1298 and 1311 to his resignation in 1344. Konrad Eubel considers him a second bishop of Duvno, while Dominik Mandić left the question open whether Madius was indeed the second or the first bishop of Duvno, as he couldn't find any document confirming his alleged predecessor John of Hoio as the bishop of Duvno. During his episcopate, he was involved in long-lasting litigations against the archbishops of Split as a representative of Bishop Valentin of Makarska over the control of Omiš and other church objects. Madius resigned due to what he calls "maliciousness of the people", which might refer to the opposition of his faithful to pay taxes and the political plight which befell him after his patrons from the Šubić family lost the political influence after the conquest of their domains by Stephen II, Ban of Bosnia. He nevertheless retained the title of a bishop and, according to Ante Škegro, lived on the territory of the Archdiocese of Split.
