The county included the areas around the Kupa and Mrežnica by Karlovac to those around the Korana by Veljun and east beneath Petrova Gora by Vojnić.

Barilović (castle)
Barilović is a village and a municipality in central Croatia, in the Karlovac County. History During the Gomirje conflict, Lord Barilović had raised the issue of Vlach soldiers taking over their castle at the Pressburg Diet of 1604, which decided in his favour against the General of Karlovac, Veit Khisl. Khisl defended his actions with a narration of events from his perspective. Since the Barilović family could no longer maintain the castle against "the enemy's daily attacks" (), they decided to set it on fire rather than give credit to the haramije who had previously defended it. So the castle of Barilović stood deserted for a long time, but finally, General Khisl decided to confiscate it becaus it was located on a ford. When Lord Barilović found out, he improved its gate and kept a poor serf in it, asking Khisl to hand over the haramije sent by Khisl to guard it to his control. When Khisl replied that he could not do that for important reasons, they recalled their serf fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hungarian–Ottoman Wars
The Hungarian–Ottoman wars ( Hungarian: Magyar–török háborúk, Turkish: Macaristan-Osmanlı Savaşları) were a series of battles between the Ottoman Empire and the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. Following the Byzantine Civil War, the Ottoman capture of Gallipoli, and the inconclusive Battle of Kosovo, the Ottoman Empire was poised to conquer the entirety of the Balkans. It also sought and expressed desire to expand further north into Central Europe, beginning with the Hungarian lands. The Ottomans won a significant victory at the Battle of Varna in 1444, but suffered a defeat at the 1456 Siege of Belgrade. One notable figure of this period was Vlad the Impaler, who, with limited Hungarian help, resisted Ottoman rule until the Ottomans placed his brother, Radu the Handsome, on the throne of Wallachia. Ottoman success was once again halted at Moldavia due to Hungarian intervention, but the Turks finally succeeded when Moldavia and then Belgrade fell to Bayezid II and Su ...
