White Serbia

White Serbia is a modern name for an early medieval Serbian homeland, which was initially written about under the name Boiki (Ancient Greek: Βοΐκι) in the 10th-century Byzantine chronicle, De Administrando Imperio. This chronicle reports that a mass migration of unbaptized Serbs (whom it calls "white") led by an unnamed leader set out from there prior to their arrival in Southeastern Europe. This chronicle and its narrative of a White Serbian homeland have served as the foundation-stone narrative of traditional Serbian historiography. The place commonly identified by these traditional perspectives as White Serbia is an area roughly equivalent to modern Saxony, which was once inhabited by the Sorbs, a tribal group known from Frankish chronicles.
