History

The old town of Klobuk is located on the sloping plateau of Mirotinske grede, above the village of Aranđelovo and the valley of the river Sušica, below the steep cliffs in the south and the village of Klobuk in the north.

It is believed to have been built in the 9th century. In the work of Constantine Porphyrogenitus De Administrando Imperio in the middle of the 10th century, he mentions a town in the parish of Vrm in the county of Travunija. The fortress is also mentioned during the reign of archon Stefan Vojislav in the 11th century. [2] The town of Klobuk was part of the state of Nemanjić until 1321, when this area passed into the hands of Bosnian rulers. It was first in the possession of the Sankovićs, and then from 1395 to 1442 in the possession of the Pavlovićs, who took it from Sankovićs. Then in 1442, it was taken over from Pavlović by Stjepan Vukčić Kosač sometime before 1442. [3] During the 15th century, it was governed by a knyaz on behalf of the lord, and also had the castellan as a military commander. [4]

The Ottomans captured Klobuk in 1477, and since then an Ottoman army crew has been stationed in the fortress until 1878, when they offered fierce resistance to Austro-Hungarian forces. The fortress gained importance after the Peace of Karlovac in 1699, when it became a prominent point towards the possessions of Venetia in Dalmatia and towards Montenegro. [5] During the Ottomans, it belonged to the Sanjak of Herzegovina.

Inside Klobuk, in front of the former church, on the foundations of which the mosque was built, there is a stećak tombstone of the nobleman Vukosav Zemlić, [6] on which it is inscribed „Асе лежи Вукосав Землић”. [1] Today, only towers up to 6 meters high are preserved, and some walls.

The Miloradović or later Stjepanović (Стјепановић), whose paternal parent house was Hrabren (Храбрен), were an Eastern Orthodox Bosnian Vlach noble family and a katun clan from Hum, and later Sanjak of Herzegovina, parts of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, and whose some later branches embraced the Bosnian Serb ethnic identity, while others converted to Islam and became Bosnian Muslims. The members of the family served the Kingdom of Bosnia, the Republic of Ragusa, and the Ottoman Empire. One branch of the Miloradović's established themselves as military leaders of Russian Empire and were adopted into the Russian nobility. The family left behind several cultural-historical monuments important to Bosnian and Herzegovinian heritage, protected as such by the KONS state agency and the UNESCO.

Brailo Tezalović was a Bosnian knez and merchant, nobleman and diplomat, who served Bosnian magnate Pavle Radinović and his family, with the court title of carinik. Brailo was born into a merchant family from Prača in eastern Bosnia, the son of Mihoje and Vladija, and grandson of Radan. He had three younger brothers, Bogiša, Hval, and Vukosav. Brailo was first mentioned in a document dated to June 1392, then mentioned in February 1399 as a customs official (carinik) of count (knez) Pavle Radenović in Ledenice. In the following years he was a diplomat in the service of the Pavlović noble family. Brailo Tezalović, Bogdan Muržić and Brajko Hvaonić, all from Prača, were the biggest merchants in Bosnia of their time. The main article of commerce was lead, likely mostly from the mine in Olovo. The debts of individuals in Bosnia were different and ranged around 100 ducats, but sometimes could cross over 1000 ducats ; Brailo, as the representative of another merchant from Prača, raised the credit to 2965 ducats. In 1411, Brailo is mentioned as the protovestijar of Pavle for the first time. Only in 1413, Brailo sent 11,5 wagons of lead to the Republic of Ragusa. He was first mentioned with the title of knez on 31 July 1421, and was inscribed as a witness in the charters of the Pavlović in 1427, 1432 and 1433. His importance at the Pavlović court is evident from the fact that the Ragusans viewed him as an especially important person in the discussions over the sale of Konavle; when the sale was finalized, Brailo received 500 ducats and a parcel of land from Ragusa. He was mentioned as deceased on 28 January 1446.
