Abstract
The article deals with the economic and war circumstances of the city of Senj, their diplomatic activities in view of stopping the longlasting wars with the Turcs and Venetians, the reasons and consequences of some smaller wars between the Habsburgs and Venetians, the reasons of the arrival of the emperor's deputy Josip Rabatta at Senj, who will try together with the Senian bishop M. A. Dominis to appease the Uscocs and also to remove them from Senj to the hinterland of Lika. But, the brutal behaviour of Rabatta towards Uscocs and heir families resulted in an armed resistance of Uscocs, in which J. Rabatta was killed while his accomplice, the Senian bishop M. A. Dominis, went off the tumultuous city in due time.
