Sažetak
The central theme of this article is the life and agency of Mark Anthony Bubić from Budva (1735-1802), a Venetian general operating in the second half of the eighteenth century. Based on the archival sources from the archives of Zadar, Kotor and Venice, the article follows his life from the very beginnings of his military career, fighting in Africa and Corfu, participating in the events in Montenegro connected with the appearance of the pretender Šćepan Mali (Stephen the Little), who proclaimed himself the emperor of Russia, to his military agency in Zadar and other Dalmatian communes in the last decades of his life. A part of the article is dedicated to the agency of other members of the Bubić family, who were mostly also important military officers in Venetian service. In the second part of the article, the emphasis is placed on the analysis of Bubić’s testamentary dispositions (a will and a codicil from 1802), from which may be reconstructed both genealogical relations and the private and business personal relations that General Bubić cherished with respectable denizens of Zadar or people from his native area. In the appendix of the article are given partial transcripts of the will and the codicil from the State Archive of Zadar, lists of the soldiers of the Bubić Regiment of 1775, 1778, 1779 and 1781 from the State Archive of Venice, and a genealogical table of the Bubić family.
