 * An illegitimate son of King Ostoja, Thomas succeeded King Tvrtko II, but his accession was not recognized by the leading magnate of the Kingdom of Bosnia, Stjepan Vukčić Kosača. suggest linking magnate here.
 * and married the insubordinate nobleman's daughter Catherine. suggest and married the insubordinate nobleman's daughter, Catherine.

 * first ruler of Bosnia to engage in religious persecution. here, does this mean the Kingdom of Bosnia? I'd recommend you mention if so, because as read it suggests that no religious persecution had ever taken point up until then.
 * For the infobox, I suggest changing the religious part from
 * Roman Catholic
 * previously Bosnian Christian
 * to
 * Bosnian Christian
 * Roman Catholic (later)
 * Thank you for all your comments! "Ruler of Bosnia" means ruler of the state called Bosnia, not ruler of any state which included the territory of what would later be known as Bosnia. In other words, "ruler of Bosnia" means bans and kings of Bosnia (people listed at List of rulers of Bosnia). Religious persecution did take place in the Roman Empire, but there was no Bosnia at that time. As for religion, Thomas was Roman Catholic for the majority of his reign, so I thought that that should be emphasized. Surtsicna (talk) 11:18, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Have I not fixed them, Iazyges? Surtsicna (talk) 14:13, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The SFNs for Ćošković use 2005, while the bibliography uses 2009. In order for harv references to work properly they need to have the same date. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  14:17, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, I thought it was just this one. Surtsicna (talk) 14:26, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Thomas, however, hastened to send word of his accession to foreign rulers, including the German king Frederick IV and Ragusan and Venetian authorities, hoping for recognition. suggest Because of this, Thomas hastened to send word of his accession to foreign rulers, including the German king Frederick IV and Ragusan and Venetian authorities, hoping to recieve recognition.
 * when Thomas pleased the Holy See to be cleared of the "stain of illegitimacy" as well as for an annulment of his union with Vojača. suggest when Thomas improved relations the Holy See in order to be cleared of the "stain of illegitimacy" as well as to receive an annulment of his union with Vojača.
