THE NOBLE FAMILY DEGORICIJA

ENVER LJUBOVIĆ

Sažetak

The author here publishes some most important historical facts about the noble officer's family Degoricija, about their coat of arms and their title-deed on the assignment of a noble rank and coat of arms. This familiy comes from Gorica and to Senj they moved during the 17th century, where they used to discharge officers' duties in the military garrison. Later some of the family moved to Lika (Sinac). One collateral family Degoricija lived in Zagreb and the other at Sinac. As the skilful officers, they used to perform their duties in fortress settlements of Otočac, Prozor and Brinje. The most important member of that noble family was Matija Degoricija, a pedestrian border guard captain and later major of the Austrian military border land regiment from Otočac. Matija Degoricija and his hereditary descendants were assigned from the Austrian empress Maria Theresa on the 27th October 1759 the inheritable Austrian nobility rank and coat of arms with the epithet "of Freunwaldt" for his military merits and his zeal in performing military duties. Some members of the familiy were married to Senian girls and took part in public and political life of Senj. Many of them were after death buried at Senj.
