During the expulsion of Bogumil from Serbia, Soko Grad, whose manager was Bogumil, also found itself in conflicts, which is why Nemanja besieged and occupied the city, which suffered greater destruction on that occasion. The Turks, as well as the entire Vidin principality, which included Soko Grad at the end of the 14th century, occupied it in 1398. In 1412, the Turkish Sokol and Svrljig fugitive Hamza, who was enthroned in Soko Grad, defected from the Turkish authorities, so Sultan Musa turned against him in the same year. Hamza's rebellion was quelled by the sultan the following year, and during the fighting, Soko Grad was destroyed again.
