The Delišimunović family is a Croatian noble family originating from Klis Fortress in Split, where they were members of the Uskok military group. They served on the military frontier of the Habsburg Monarchy, later part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[1]
History
[edit]
The Delišimunović family name has appeared in various forms, including Delisimonovich, Dellisimunovich, Delljsimonovich, and Dellissimunovich. The surname translates to "Son of Simon the Brave" derived from the nickname Delija Šimun, linked to Šimun Radojčić, the son of Ivan Radojčić.
The family initially resided in Klis Fortress before moving to Pokuplje, where they owned Radojčić Castle near Duga Resa. They later relocated to the Žumberak mountains, where Krsto Delišimunović was granted the title of Noble by Leopold I in 1659.[2] On August 9, 1675 he received the title of Baron.[3] He served as captain of Karlovac until his death in 1696.
Franjo Krsto Delišimunović, Krsto’s son, commanded the Croatian army alongside Franjo Vragović during the uprising of Francis II Rákóczi in 1704. He was elevated to the title of Count in 1708.[4]
The family owned properties in Žumberak, including Žumberak Castle, Radojčić Castle, Kostanjevac, and Petričko Selo, as well as southern estates such as Brlog and Drežnik, which they acquired through marriage.
