Stefan Nemanja (1166–1196) conquered Pult around 1185, after the capture of
Zeta. The area is mentioned in the
Charter of Hilandar, noting that Pult was inhabited by
Albanians. The Russian diplomat and historian
Ivan Yastrebov designated Pult as part of the Dukagjin region. In 1332, two
Albanian-inhabited towns were recorded in the Pult region;
Polatum Maius ("Greater Pult") and
Polatum Minus ("Lesser Pult"). The
Dukagjini family ruled the region during the
Middle Ages, and Pult was therefore part of the
Principality of Dukagjini. At one point during the 16th–17th centuries,
Pjetër Spani of the
Spani family was the Lord of Pult. In the early 17th century, there was a catholic church dedicated to
Saint Barbara in Upper Pult. ==See also==
