User:Santasa99/sandbox/Vukčić noble family

This is just an interesting situation... Article probably isn't viable. Nevertheless, both Kosača and Hrvatinić got this surname on their own, but also intermarried.

The Vukčić was a noble family in Bosnia, who were vassals principally to Kotromanić dynasty of the Banate of Bosnia and Kingdom of Bosnia (1325–1463), and finally the Ottoman Empire (1463–1476).[1]

Hrvatinić branch

They rose to prominence in the second half of the 14th century, and attained its peak under magnate Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić (1350–1416), who also held large swaths of Dalmatia. It's eponymous founder was Vukac Hrvatinić in Hrvatinić branch (fl. 1299–1304), a count and holder of possession in parts of "Donji Kraji" (English: Lower Ends) and "Zapadne Strane" (English: "Western Sides"), and a vassal to Bosnian Bans Stjepan I and Stjepan II Kotromanić.[2] He was a son of Hrvatin and father of Hrvoje Vukčić.[3] From around 1322 the family submitted to the Kotromanić dynasty of the Banate of Bosnia.[4] In 1363, the Vukčić-Hrvatinić supported Tvrtko I of Bosnia against Hungary, after which they came up through the ranks in Bosnia, while their most prominent member, Hrvoje Vukčić, along with major new possessions in Donji Kraji and Zapadne Strane was awarded with the title Grand Duke of Bosnia.[5] In c. 1387, while loyal to Tvrtko I, they supported rebellion in Dalmatia against Sigismund.[5] The last member of the family was Matija Vojsalić who was last mentioned in the archives of Republic of Ragusa in 1476. He was installed as a puppet king of Bosnia by the Ottoman sultan as an answer to Nicholas of Ilok, named king of Bosnia by Matthias Corvinus. Matija Vojsalić was removed after conspiring with Matthias Corvinus against the Ottomans and was not mentioned after that.
