About Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić`s House in Dubrovnik

Summary/Abstract: Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić acquired the house in Dubrovnik in 1399, after King Ostoja sold to Dubrovnik citizens the Slano region. As a sign of gratitude for the role that he has played in the process, citizens of Dubrovnik decided to admit both Hrvoje and the King himself in the rank of Dubrovnik nobles, and to present him the house that was apud ecclesiam sancti Blasii in Ragusio ad Luzarizan. The house remained his property until 1412, when Hrvoje presented is payment of the debt to his wife Jelena. Problems arise following his death in 1416, as Dubrovnik citizens refused to hand over the house to Herzeg's widow and to the new Bosnian Queen. Even though they gave it by the Charter of 1419, they still made the taking over of the house incredibly difficult. After Jelena died in 1423, Dubrovnik citizens gave to Herzeg's granddaughters, Katarina and Doroteja, half of the income from the house. At the beginning of the 16th century, the Duke Petar Pavlović from the Vlatković family and his mother Jelena are beneficiaries of the one quarter of the income from the house. The last bit of information that we have that mentions the house formerly belonging to the Herzeg Hrvoje is from 1521.
