Polovinom XIV veka \u0161irim podru\u010djem U\u017eica upravljao je Vojislav Vojinovi\u0107, a po njegovoj smrti, vlast je preuzeo Nikola Altomanovi\u0107. \u0160ire\u0107i svoju vlast i teritoriju ugro\u017eavao je Dubrovnik, bosanskog bana Tvrtka i kneza Lazara. Udru\u017eenim snagama knez Lazar i bosanski ban Tvrtko su uhvatili Nikolu Altomanovi\u0107a 1373. godine i oslepeli ga. U\u017ei\u010dki kraj od tada je u sastavu dr\u017eave kneza Lazara. Posle pada srpske despotovine osvojili su ga Turci. U XVI veku U\u017eice je bilo sredi\u0161te nahije i kadiluka, a tokom XVII veka postao je zna\u010dajno zanatsko i kulturno sredi\u0161te.<\/p>\n
