Sažetak
In the period of Early Modern Age, in particular during Venetian-Ottoman wars, many families originating from Eastern Adriatic had for generations been involved in various Venetian military units. Merits acquired by several decades or even one century of serving under Venetian flag made it possible for many families and individuals to achieve advancement in their careers as officers, as well as to gain prestigious titles (conte veneto) and medals (entering the order of cavaliers of St. Mark). In the focus of research is the Kumbat family of Kaštela, whose descendants in the 18th century owned prestigious ranks in Venetian infantry units (Fanti oltramarini), and received the title of conte for their merits. The paper is based on a thorough analysis of the material from the Archivio di Stato di Venezia (records of the magistrature Inquisitori sopra l'amministrazione dei pubblici ruoli) and the State Archives in Zadar (Records of General Proveditors); mostly followed are military careers of the leading members of the Kumbat family – Ivan Antun (1684–1744), colonel and commander of Venetian forces on Corfu; his son Antun (d. 1749), colonel; and Antun’s son Danijel, captain in the 1740s. The paper further concentrates on the lists of officers and soldiers who served in the units under the command of members of the Kumbat family, while in the final part, there are reprints of some of the lists used.
