The "renewed" Serbian Despotate,[a] also called Little Rascia (Мала Рашка),[1] was the successor state of the Serbian Despotate that had been conquered by the Ottomans in 1459. Earlier, in 1404, Hungarian King Sigismund ceded parts of Syrmia, Banat and Bačka to Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarević (1402–1427), later succeeded by Đurađ Branković (1427–1456); these territories became the governing lands of the later vassal despots upon renewal of the title in 1471 by the Kingdom of Hungary. It was bestowed to Vuk Grgurević of the exiled Branković dynasty, and was then held by Đorđe Branković (1486–1497) and Jovan Branković (1492–1502), after which it was given to Ivaniš Berislavić (1503–1514) and Stefan Berislavić (1514–1536), and then to magnates Radič Božić (1527) and Pavle Bakić (1537). The residence of the despots was Kupinik (modern Kupinovo).

History

[edit]

Prelude

[edit]

After the Ottoman conquest of Serbian territories in 1439, Despot Đurađ Branković fled to the Kingdom of Hungary where he was given a large territory in southern Pannonia. His son, Grgur Branković, entered Ottoman vassalage and ruled Serbia until his removal in 1441.[2]

1526–37

[edit]

After 1526, many Serbs (called "Rascians") settled in Slavonia.[3] In 1526–27, Jovan Nenad ruled a territory of southern Pannonia during the Hungarian throne struggle; After his death (1527), his commander Radoslav Čelnik ruled Syrmia as an Ottoman and then Habsburg vassal until 1532, when he retreated to Slavonia after the Ottoman conquest.[4] Many of the Syrmian Serbs then settled the Kingdom of Hungary.[4]

Territory

[edit]
Possessions of the Serbian despots in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The territory of Vuk Grgurević (1471–85), the Serbian Despot in Hungarian service (as "Despot of the Kingdom of Rascia"), was called "Little Rascia".[1]
