Sažetak
The article thematises the life and career of Petar Iveljić Grgurić Ohmućević, Ragusan seaman and captain, born around 1552 in the townlet of Slano. By sailing the Mediterranean as shipowner and naval commander in the service of the Spanish Crown, Petar amassed considerable wealth, which encouraged him to uphold his status by joining the most prestigious European Orders of Christian knights. Considering himself a descendant of the pre-Ottoman elite of the Kingdom of Bosnia, he remained determined in his attempts to substantiate the noble status of the Ohmućević, which gave rise to animosity on the part of the Ragusan noble circles. Upon his departure from Dubrovnik in 1584, he was accused of various criminal offences, as well as unlawful claims to the noble title. He died in Lisbon in 1596, without setting foot in Dubrovnik ever again. In a lengthy address to the Senate written in 1585, he explicated his position, as well as the reasons underlying that conflict. Having realised that the Republic had renounced him, by the end of 1580s he became a subject of the Spanish Crown.
