The Noble Kučić Family: a Contribution to the Study of the Kačić Kindred of Nadin at the End of the Fourteenth and in the First Half of the Fifteenth Century
Ivan Majnarić
Sažetak
Based on the published and unpublished sources (kept in the State Archive of Zadar, the Archive of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, and the Scholarly Library of Zadar), this paper presents the current results of the ongoing research of the Kačić kindred of Nadin during the second half of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century. As a starting point for this study, the author used the last will of John Butko Kučić from 1451 (the document is kept in the State Archive of Zadar, in the collection The Deeds of Zaratin Notaries, and was written by a notary, Iohannes de Calcina). The article consists of three parts. In the first part special attention is paid to some aspects of the problems regarding the position of the Kačići of Nadin in the modern historiography. The second part identifies mentions of the closest kin of Ivan in the sources (his great-grandfather Lapac/Klapac, grandfather Perko, father Butko, and uncles Vojin, Vladoj, Mladošić and Ladislas, as well as his brothers Martinuš and Charles). In this part, the author also tries to establish the genealogy of this branch of the Kačić kindred of Nadin, which, as it seems, descended from the person named Peter, a member of the kindred mentioned in the first half of the thirteenth century. Beside Petar, his father Otra and brother Dragoslav are also taken into consideration. The last part of this paper identifies mentions of John in the sources, discusses his social status and analyses his testament. As an appendix to the paper, the author brings the transcript of the document containing John’s last will.
