Sažetak
Duke Stjepan Hercegovic Kosaca (1456? - 1517), the youngest
and most certainly the most beloved son of Herzog
Stjepan Vukcic Kosaca, although later becoming as
Ahmed Pasha Hercegovic a distinguished and successful
Ottoman administrator, minister, land and sea commander,
a statesman and a poet, has remained a partially controversial
figure in South Slavic, South European and Turkish
historical reviews. Even today it is not easy to depict
his way of life. Historians disagree on the origin and the
name of his mother, his year of birth, his sending or departure
to the court of the Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror,
clash with his half-brother, Duke Vlatko, succeeding or
failing to take over the inheritance of his father Stjepan
and his mother, Barbara, preserved in Dubrovnik, the names
of his children, as well as some disputable places or
duties from his forty-year Ottoman life path to his unreasoned
death in 1517.
In this article, the author puts more light into almost all
controversial issues by using primarily, presently available,
published and unpublished sources and bibliography
in the archives and libraries of Dubrovnik, Venice, Milan,
Florence, Rimini, Sarajevo and Istanbul. At the end of his
paper, the author depicts Ahmed Pasha Hercegovic as the
center of confronting spheres of the ruling global-Ottoman
class with the perspectives and desires of the globally-
losing and oppressed masses of South-European and
Asian peoples, and recommends further study of the role,
contribution and faults of Stjepan/Ahmed Hercegovic in
the global historical and political context of his time.
