Vukac Hrvatinić

Vukac Hrvatinić (fl. 1350 – d. after 10 April 1378) was a Bosnian magnate with the title of knez in the service of Ban Tvrtko Kotromanić of Bosnia. He belonged to the Hrvatinić noble family which served the Banate of Bosnia.

Life

Vukac was one of the sons of Hrvatin Stjepanić, the knez of Donji Kraji (1299).[1] In 1363 Bosnia was invaded by the Hungarian King. The city of Soko on Pliva was defended by Vukac during the King's siege on 8–10 July. Vukac defended it so effectively that the King decided to abandon a siege and retreated to Hungary.

Issue

Vukac had three sons:

  • Hrvoje (1350–1416), Ban of Croatia, Grand Duke of Bosnia and Herzog of Split.
  • Vuk, Ban of Croatia.
  • Dragiša.
  • Vojislav.
