Bogić Vučković
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bogić Vučković Stratimirović (Serbian Cyrillic: Богић Вучковић Стратимировић, fl. 1735–1745) was a Serbian rebel leader in the Sanjak of Herzegovina who organized an uprising in 1737, during the Austro-Russian–Turkish War (1735–1739). He was from the Trebinje hinterland, in Herzegovina, the son of Vučko Petrović and grandson of Petar Stratimirović.[1] Early on, he moved to the Kingdom of Serbia (1718–1739).[2] He is mentioned in documents as a merchant from Kragujevac.[3] He bought[4] an attestation from the Republic of Ragusa that he descended from Stracimir Balšić, the Lord of Zeta,[5] then appeared in autumn 1737 at the Habsburg deputy commander's office in Sremski Karlovci,[6] with Aleksa Milišević, presenting themselves as nobility[5] and Vučković stressed that he had readied the Montenegrin peoples to help the Austrian Emperor.[4] Vučković and his brothers organized an uprising in Herzegovina in 1737 during Austrian-Turkish conflicts in the Balkans, at the same time helping the Austrians.[1] After the Capture of Belgrade (1739), for their efforts, he and his brothers were awarded Austrian noble titles and granted the village of Kulpin which they settled. Stefan Stratimirović is a descendant of his.
