Sramko (, Archaic: áÃÂðüÃÂúþ) or Hramko, was a local Slavic nobleman from the region surrounding Trebinje, who ruled the area with a title knez. It is presumed that he has been active during dominance of the Nemanjiàdynasty (1166âÂÂ1371) in the region.
An inscription found by scholar Stevan DeliÃÂ near the Church of St. Peter in the locality of CrnÃÂe near Trebinje reading:
ÃÂþÃÂÃÂmàÃÂøþãóÃÂô ý ÃÂøÃÂöÃÂmàvýôàøÃÂúþã ôÃÂÃÂã ÃÂÃÂmÃÂøýôþ þã ÃÂãôý ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂãôàúôÃÂáàáøÃÂÃÂãúÃÂ
Poleta, Drougan and Draà ¾eta buried their mother in the days of glorious Duke Sramko
(
The finding was published in 1913, after Deliàhad likely found it in the winter of 1912 or early 1913. Grave tablets were unearthed while digging the base for the new church. The grave tablet mentioning Sramko was unearthed by the western wall of the nave of the church, some 40 cm below surface, with a part of it set in the base of the church. The dimensions of the tablet were 130ÃÂ80 cm. Vladimir ÃÂoroviÃÂ, writing in 1925, proposed that the unusual name Sramko was to be read as Hramko (Ã¥øÃÂÃÂãúþ; ÃÂ¥ÃÂðüÃÂúþ). Marko Vego, too, read it as Hramko, and believed that he was an important person, even more so than Grd. Vego believed that he lived during the Nemanjiàperiod, after ousting knez Mihailo from the Trebinje province.
In a Latin donation charter, a Chrance, rendered Hranko or Hramko, has been connected by some scholars to Sramko. The text mentions "The seal of Hranko and all à ¾upani of Zahumlje" (Sigillum Chrance cum omnibus suis iupanis Zacholmie). Ferdo à  ià ¡iàhowever disputed this, as he regarded the donation charter a falsification as is generally held against several alleged 12th- and 13th-century donation charters, including Desa's alleged 1151 charter that dates to the 13th century.
