Maleševci
Maleševci (Serbian Cyrillic: Малешевци) is a historical Serbian tribe and region in Old Herzegovina that existed in the Late Middle Ages.
Etymology
Maleševci in the historical sources were mentioned as Vlachs or Morlachs de cathono ("katun") Malesseueç, Mallesauez, Millessouich, Malleseuich, Mallisseua, Malisez, Malleseuaz, Imalloseui, Malaseuiçi.[1] The tribe-clan is also eponymous to the Maleševo mountain in North Macedonia, Malësia in northern Albania, Malesija, Montenegro, and surname Maleš in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.[2]
History
Old
The earliest known written record referring to the tribe is a Ragusan document, written on January 14, 1374, addressing "de Malleseva" tribe-clan. They were part of broad offshoot of Vlachs in medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina of katunar Stanko Perutinić (first mentioned 1397) and his brothers and heirs in the end of 14th and beginning of the 15th century.[1] The Maleševci katun developed on the territory of Rudina, Kuta and Korita,[1] and the name Perutinić sometime replaced the name Maleševci, but the latter prevailed.[3]
In 1422 as katunars were recorded Klapac Stanković and Radosav Milićević, later Dubravac Milićević (1428), Stanoje Stanković (1434), Vukac Dubravčić (1461-1468). Stanko Perutinić had three brothers, Milić, Miloš and Hrebeljan, and with their heirs were vassals of Pavlović, while Stanko's heirs of Kosača (Sandalj Hranić, Stjepan Vukčić Kosača) noble family.[4] From 1466 are recorded under Ottoman rule.[5] They like Vlachs from other tribes sometime collaborated with Ottomans as slave agents.[6]
Modern
The united forces of partisans from Eastern Bosnia and Srem defeated Četniks from Majevica in Maleševci on November 28, 1942, and this event caused the beginning of restoration and domination of The Partisan Movement in Eastern Bosnia.[7]
