As far as Dalmatia, it was the 17th Ages manufactured with armorial

Franciscan monastery in Hvar kept the notebook with drawings of coats of
arms of the nobility. For Dalmatian heraldry unavoidable armorial patent

others, under pressure from the Ottoman Turks defected ("jumped") in the
Venetian territory in Dalmatia and settled in the hamlet of Buddha, late
Posedarja, above the city of Zadar. (6) The family produced a number of
prominent heroes and leaders of the deserter in warfare against the Turks in

general governor of Dalmatia Senate of the Venetian Republic more and
more frequently mentioned name Janka Mitrovic, father Stojan Mitrovic,
later a celebrated hero Uskoks Stojan Jankovic.Name Janka Mitrovic was
first mentioned in the list of defenders Sibenik from the Turkish onslaught in
1647. But two years later, under the authority of the Venetian senate,
general provider Leonardo Fascolo remits (4 8 1649) Janko Mitrovic four
ducats a month as a reward for his active participation in the Candian
war. Governor Girolamo Foscarini donated Janka Mitrovic with a Turk, who
was captured at the Battle of Zadrvarja, and he confirmed his merits for
warfare in Lika and Krbava, followed by Duvna and beans, and it is called
the main chief Morlachs ("capo principale di La Rosetta "). (10) In February
1659, he was wounded in the Battle of the canyon, from which he soon
died. It is true we do not know where he is buried. His death is recorded in
the Orthodox Church of St.. Elijah in Zadar - 02/28/1659. He leaves behind
three sons, Stojan, Dmitra Nikolic, the brother of the famous Bayeux Nikolic
Pivljanina.
sons Janka Mitrovic, in historical sources, referred to as the
father or the grandfather Jankovii Mitrovii. Janka Mitrovic is far surpassed
by his son Stojan Jankovic. (11) warlike exploits Stojan described the
numerous reports of the Venetian governor senate, and folk songs from
Uskoks cycle.
(12) Stojan Jankovic spent fourteen months in captivity,
although the folk song says captivity lasted 9 years and 7 months. (13)
However, Bosko right-wing, tragajaui the historical background of the
famous poem "Slavery Stojan Jankovic," he managed to find a few
autentiih documents on slavery and confirm that he spent fourteen months
in captivity. During the captivity of Stojan Jankovic in Constantinople,
Morlachs chose for his deputy ("Vice Harambassa") Paul Unevi, who
performed his duties while Stojan not got hold of freedom.Stojan new
provadur Dalmatian Antonio Priuli, the testimony of 25/11/1669. confirmed
the "famous heroic merit etujui the Zadar area," and as his hand chopped
off the head of the three famous Turkish aga, and many live trapped and

Domenikusa Kontarena. (15) Stojan for your warrior merit awards, not only

Venetian Doge Aloisus Kontarini issued Dukal dated 22.09.1678 in
Venice. year, ordering dalmatian Providurova Peter Valier to Stojan Jankovic
and one of his sons enrolled with full pay in one of the cavalry in the
territory of Dalmatia. The same is the Venetian doge appointed to chief
Stojan Jankovic Morlachs with a monthly salary of 25 ducats.
(16) Stojan
suddenly falls out of favor with the Venetian authorities, his brother Elijah
Jankovic, who in 1680 was sentenced to banishment from all countries of the

Page |4
Venetian Republic, because in time of peace with the Ottoman Empire
crossed Venetian Turkish border and attacked the Turks in the border
villages.He was arrested and taken to Venice, along with his brother, it
depends. This caused great inde-satisfaction of not only deserters, but also
for the masses Bukovice and Straight in Kotara, who saw him as their
leader, celebrated in many battles against the Turks in Lika, Bosnia and
Dalmatia.
(17) Tay arrest not favorably echoed in Venice, because it was
known for his great popularity among the people. It is difficult to determine
how much Stojan Jankovic spent interned in Venice. Historical sources do
not speak. According to documents found by Bosko right hand in the
Venetian State Archives, most likely that Stojan Jankovic was in exile from
17.09. until 11.20.1683. when Venice sends Jankovic with his three friends
in Zadar to quell the uprising. Stojan now enjoys the favor of the senate,
and his governor, who was earlier arrested by Jankovic, issued a full
charge. The Venetian Senate forgave the guilt of Stojan Jankovic and again
he returned all his previous features and accessories. Stojan Jankovic with
her Morlaci became the terror of the Turks. The commander of the Venetian
cavalry from Bribira (Ostrovica) occurs 06/26/1686. was that Jankovic
Morlaci in Knin Krajina burned 25 mills and over one established tower on
the river Krka, which protected the mills. An even greater achievement was
the conquest of the Livno Jankovic with 5000 infantry and 1500 cavalry,

with the choice of officers with the approval of governor.
feats About
Stojan Jankovic could be heard on all sides. I Arsenije III, Patriarch of Pec,
intended to send a hundred armed horsemen Stojan Jankovic to fight
against the Turks. Bosnian Pasha Muhammad Atlagi (18) tries various ways
to disrupt the MORLAK to shake their loyalty towards Stojan Jankovic. That
did not work. Atlagi with strong Turkish army besieging Sinj, which
Jankovic released but fails to recapture. Senate he was in Venice,
20/03/1670. was awarded a knighthood Sv. Mark doing the him a gold chain
with a medal of St.. Mark. (19) The character of Stojan Jankovic outlined is
not only our national poet known folk songs, but Mirko Korolija (20) in an
impressive sonnet "Stojan Jankovic '.Vladan right has put this song in the
introductory part of the "Magazine of northern Dalmatia," in 1943, feeling in
her synthesis of past, present and future. Stojan was married twice. His first
wife's name Vuk, a second Anthony. Anthony was originally from a Greek
family regime from the Catholic faith. Stojan had a total of nine
children. Stojanov brother Elijah was a "black sheep", errant son, bastard
and adventure. He is truly distinctive figure of the legendary Uskoks
movements Strait. United in himself all the familiar features of our
highlanders, relentlessly heroic and brave but undisciplined and a bit cruel,

as well as their time. All these properties Ilija Jankovic gave his personal
stamp. Defiant and unyielding, spitfire and ribald, Elijah has his whole life to
the end filled with the Turks, to spell Venetian rule in Dalmatia, as well as in
the government of the Republic of Venice, constant and massive
headaches. The Venetian document name Ilija Jankovic is necessarily
accompanied by derogatory names, "bandit", "bloodthirsty and cruel,"
"stumbling block", "chief troublemaker", "oppressive", "unruly" and the
like.
(21) From the Venetian documents we learn that Elijah in our
Serbian, and Croatian people, enjoyed greater prestige and authority than
any Uskoks leader and that is wasteful people shared everything he had or
what they snatched from the Turks.
(22) soon spread to another during
the lull between the Candian , and the Morean War. According to an order of
the general governor of Dalmatia, Valier, since 30/03/1680. The Venetians
who at all costs want to maintain good relations with Turkey, because of the
rebellion are Ilija Jankovic in absentia sentenced to death (bandito con pena
capitale). But Elias continued to ravage and plunder the Turkish territory, so
it is a new Venetian governor Don Lorenzo was forced to 13/09/1683. The
written order for the elders to Elijah Jankovic "capture, dead or alive", with a
large cash prize. Governor was sent to intervene in Venice Elijah's brother,
Serdar Stojan and depends on the expectation that this will "subdue bandits
Elijah" (per mortificar il bandito del alterreggia Elia), and his company was
given a deadline of three days to leave under threat they will all burn down
the house.
Measures taken Venetians were in vain. In fact, were created
and another time.Combined forces of Austria and Poland inflicted in
September 1683 in Vienna tremendous defeat the Turks, who were
retreating in disarray towards the south, towards Belgrade. In an effort to
keep the peace with Turkey, Venice has not joined the Austro-Polish alliance,
but it is in northern Dalmatia, on this side of the Venetian-Turkish border,
already raging all people's uprising. Its organizer and a real leader was Ilija
Jankovic. However, the Venetian Signoria returned from Venice Elijah
brothers Stojan and depend, to persuade the rebels to refrain from further
action. But people have canceled each submission. The uprising of the
Serbian people are more flared. Under the leadership of Elijah Jankovic
rebels in these days of release Vranu Ostrovice, Perui and Benkovac, and
the Turks fled in panic in Obrovac, Skradin and Drni.Insurgent army under
Venetian occupation is divided into three detachments commanded by Ilija
Jankovic, the chief of Tintor and John Baljak, while at the head of the rebels
from the Turkish territories are Nikola Saric, Elijah CVRLJE and Grgo

and Drni, in which all Turkish houses on fire, and then held a big
rally. Residents Ervenik did not want to join the rebels and was with them
harshly treated. He attacked Ervenik and violently robbed him. In a joint war

Ravni Kotar, which should be attributed to criminal proceedings bloodthirsty

Zadar hostage's brother depends. That did not help.
(24) Finally, in
January, 1694th year, Elijah died of natural causes. The Senate is in Venice
now publicly expressed his "great satisfaction" (particolar sodisfattione). Two
centuries later, on the stage of history in Dalmatia came one Jankovic, who
happened to be wearing a name as a fearless rebel who on his own initiative
an uprising against the Turks, for whom Stojan Jankovic reached the
Venetian prison. It was the great grandfather of Vladan Desnice, Ilija
Jankovic (25) is one of the most prominent citizens of the city of Zadar in
the second half of the nineteenth century. He belonged to the National
Party. In Moscow, the 1867 congress held Slavic coun- tries (26) and the
Slovene Ethnographic exhibition. (27) For it is from Zara was present Ilija
Jankovic. Elijah died in 1874. His death in Trieste 02/03/1874. was mourned
as a national loss, not only in Dalmatia, but also in all Yugoslav countries of
the former Yugoslavia. (28) The grave he spoke Simo Matavulj, then a
teacher in Islam Greece. (29) Simo wrote the song "The tomb of the Earl of
Ilija Jankovic ". (30) The last male offspring of the vine Stojan Jankovic,
conte Ilija Jankovic left behind two daughters, one of whom is married to
Olga Vladimir right, grandfather Vladana Desnice.Vladimir right has taught
high school in Zadar, and then studied medicine in Padua. From an early age

Dalmatia and Boka. Established a connection with Svetozar Miletic and

the Serbian noble family from Ocestovo. Nobility and coat got Stefan
Knezevic in Vienna, 05.07.1867. year. Stefan (15.06.1806.-01.28.1890.)
Was a Dalmatian bishop. (48) was born in Oestovo near Knin. It was the
first Dalmatian Orthodox bishop in Dalmatia. Dedicated to the Bishop of
03/06/1853. in Karlowitz, and by then it was Archimandrite Monastery
Krka. He founded 16/07/1835. The Consistory of Zadar and it is better to
regulate the presbytery and parish. (49) reformed in 1863 the seminary in
Zadar. Founded in 1869, the fund for priests, widows and orphans. (50)
Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Chernovtsy gave Knezevic, with honor and
respect, a doctorate in 1879, at the same time as the petranovi.
Bishop
Stefan Knezevic was the great Bishop of Dalmatia and National worker, who
is his patriotism, sacrifice and work and his great merits and deeds
perpetuated. (51) According to his life and work as a Serb was valuable and
zealous guardian of his nationality, and as a model archbishop was his

P a g e | 10
tireless defense attorney Orthodox Church and as such enjoyed a great deal
of trust and love his Serbian people and their congregation, what is,
unfortunately, hardly any hierarch enjoyed his time.
According to the
story of his contemporaries, who were at that time in the entire Serbian
nation and Orthodoxy, not only in Dalmatia but also in Vojvodina, Croatia,
Montenegro and Serbia, representing his opinion, the newspapers: "Serbian
voice" (list) - Zadar, "Srbobran" - Zagreb "Flag" and "Bumper" Novi Sad
"Local Government" and "echo" - Belgrade, "The Voice of Montenegrins" Cetinje, and the magazine "Herald" - Belgrade, and are showing total effect
Bishop Stefan Knezevic found: 1) that the field of Education has invested a
lot of effort, and that made a big lift school, which to him was much
neglected, establishing his foundation for education Serbian Dalmatian youth
and make the first time Serbian youth to high school in Vienna and Graz. 2)
that in our church took full organization, which was set on a modern basis
and her life and work brought a lot of activity and enthusiasm with strong
patriotic element. He formed the Consistory and performed landscaping
parishes realigned Theological Institute in Zadar and managed to lift him up
and exalt, and to gather around him the best forces. Realigned and
Seminary in Zadar and managed to get the Theological Institute and
seminaries create a good and educated priests generation.(52) Much of the
work in raising and restoration of monasteries, churches and parish houses,
regulate and improve the material condition of the priest, and founded the
Fund for widows and orphans priest. In a word, for our education has done a
lot. 3) that in all Serbian affairs, from the mouth of the leader of the Serbs
in the coastal Save BELANOVICA, Bishop Stefan Knezevic, always a
participant and in their forefront. Even as a young monk was famous, so
they addressed him patriots from near and afar. He was probably among the
first in the National Party. And as such, led the twelve deputies in Vienna, to
the highest point of the Emperor express wishes and complaints of the
people.
(53) However, already in 1862, Bishop Stefan Knezevic
disappointed, and became convinced that the National Party of Serbian
interests of the poor and does not take into account, but only of Croatian
interests and the Catholic Church, and that its main goal of unification with
Croatia. Leaving the People's Party and withdrawing from it and formed the
Independent Serbian group, which according to the given circumstances and
Serbian interests occasionally collaborates with the autonomy, especially
with its Slavic wing, which is led by Bajamonti. As a realist in politics
collaborated occasionally with the government. (54) is then separated
from the People's Party and began to work politically independent, leading
purely realist policy taktizirajui class with the autonomy, now with the
government.Then the Jesuits began to struggle against Bishop Knezevic,
various slanders and insinuations.At that time creating a grudge against
Bishop Knezevic, and it helped themselves Bokeljci with Stephen Mitar
Ljubisa, partly because of his jealousy of the leadership of the Serbs on the

P a g e | 11
coast, and partly because of his prejudice that Bishop Kneevi was against
the creation of a separate Boka Bay Diocese to which he wanted to bring his
brother Visariona, later Metropolitan of Cetinje, though in later
correspondence Patriarch Samuel Mairevi, on the contrary found that
Bishop Kneevi was not contrary to the establishment of the
diocese.
(55) In this battle bishop Kneevi was not to be shaken. He
remained steadfast in his stance and posture. He spoke Serbian leaders who
are behind the rest of the National Party that their way is wrong, because in
the Croatian leader in the National Party was becoming more prevalent
Croatian eskluzivizam and concern for the Catholic Church and union with
Croatia, and that they have no genuine desire for fraternal cooperation with
the Serbs, so on this trip to experience great disappointment.
Indeed,
after several years, unscrupulous exclusivity Croats real with greater
influence of the Catholic clergy in the National Party, the Serbs increasingly
disappointed the in brotherly cooperation with Croats, while in 1878 no
performances totally disappointing events and actions of the previous year
and those who force them to leave the People's Party in June 1879, set up
its own special "Serbian Party on the Coast," and your body "Serbian
newspaper".Then they all admitted that the time of Bishop Knezevic was
correct. As Bishop Kneevi was the first among the founders of the Serbian
parties are still held, so too was among the first with the establishment of
"Serbian List," which is a political, material and moral helped.
(56) His
path and policies in defense of Ethnic Studies and Church was the only
correct and that no one is simpler or deeper expressed as Zadar church
optinstvo in his obituary: "Umrah worthy guardian of the Orthodox faith
and Serbian nationality Stefan Knezevic, Bishop steely in character, constant
in principle. instructed his people to the path of happiness and progress,
aided work and enlighten, was still over his flock, he thought deeply about
the fate of his people, besjedio us to never give up their ancestral faith, keep
an eye on the conscience of his name and the magnificent tribe. Serb was
the assembly and form ".
(57) What is a Serb, and how much is in itself
deeply felt Serbian thought, the best show of a few facts: 1) The celebration
of St. Vitus in Kosovo year 1889 in Kosovo, near Knin Bishop Knezevic, 83
year old man, cunning and wisely, quietly and effortlessly, he organized and
assembled unseen presence of the priest and the people which is the day
consecrated the new church, which was intended Serbian martyr St. Prince
Lazar, was conducted a funeral service for the fallen heroes of the faith and
fatherland. All that other rite of gray-haired old man went without rest and
ease. How the Serbian nation, this ceremony was nowhere, and it's all the
work of Bishop Stefan Knezevic.2) His will (58), which all of his estate
obtained efforts and savings bequeathed and left for charitable purposes
Serbian people, whom he knew and lived and whom he loved above all else,
and that he ordered that all his property, in the event that his people began
to renounce the Orthodox faith and their nationalities, "has transferred to

P a g e | 12
the dear mother Principality of Serbia", and that the same property is
managed by the government and Metropolitan of Serbia . This is likely to
remain unique in preanskom Serbian nation. Until then, neither after him to
this day no one has done. Such a testament certainly proves the Bishop
Knezevic deeply, fervently and tenderly loved Serbian nation and Serbia. 3)
established the foundation for the many needs of our schools and our
churches, the Serbian youth and orphans. 4) Recommended to him at the
funeral of Kistanje and to the monastery of Krka (nearly five kilometers),
where he was buried, peasant-believers sing Serbian folk songs, because
they are his Episcopal Palace, on every occasion regularly, with harps,
singing folk songs.
(59) This is only part of the examples, among many,
as Bishop Knezevic love serbs and Orthodoxy. How Knezevic was a pet of his
people, who is the Bishop looked great defenders of rights and interests,
best expressed Sava Bjelanovi, leader of the Serbs on the coast, with these
words: "The people of Bishop Kneevi was loved people and he was very
loyal."
Above all, his magnificent and an unprecedented funeral from
Zadar to Krka monastery, his tomb and eternal home, best illustrated by the
People Love enjoyed Bishop Knezevic. (60) However, in defense of Serbs
and Orthodoxy on the coast bishop Kneevi was at a high altitude. In the
eyes of Serbia, Bishop Kneevi was a Serb purest representative of Serbian
thoughts on the Coast, and as a Serbian bishop vigilant and tireless guardian
of his nationality and religion. For the Serbs in Vojvodina, Bishop Kneevi
was a bishop who fought for Orthodoxy and Serbian nationality. For the
Serbs in Croatia - Bishop standing on the bumper of his church and of all
nationalities against the onslaught of Rome and the Catholic Church. Russia
Bishop Knezevic especially loved and was with her constantly in touch over
the Metropolitan Michael.
Bishop Knezevic are all handed the
establishment party and the Serbian Serbian newspaper. Serbian newspaper
without his financial help could not go out. Because of his connections and
loyalty Serbian Party and Serbian List, the bishop had a very difficult and
painful days and moments. Regardless of all this, it is the end of life
remained loyal to Serbian party and its program. Therefore, his opponents
called the priest, a party "Orthodox - Popovski and Kaluerski
party". ,
1918 was the year of the unification and liberation of Dalmatia, events have
given the right policy Bishop Knezevic. Serbian Army in November 1918
released Dalmatia from Austria and prevent its occupation by Italy in the
Treaty of London. Decision of the National Council of Split Dalmatia sought
to unite with Serbia. Tim unification is given full satisfaction policy Bishop
Knezevic.
quite natural and logical that the celebration of the 550th
anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo and the 50th anniversary of the
consecration of the church Lazarice the Dalmatian Kosovo, held in 1939,
devoted their respect to Bishop Knezevic as the most impressive and best
representative Serbian thoughts on the Coast, the organizer of the
Dalmatian churches, popular and famous benefactor Bishop. (61) "If the

P a g e | 13
Serbian nation," said a Serbian newspaper, talking about the merits of
Bishop Stefan Knezevic, "had in his lap so patriotic chieftain church as
Bishop Knezevic, it would still popular things a little differently to stand.
Serbian people have pointed to the merits of their particular love and
respect ... Our bishops and the clergy can be most helpful to bloom folk
thing. Along with other popular actors and let them pick-up at a folk field,
and ponjee fruits of their labor ". Bishop Stefan Knezevic their duty is
done.
