Stefan Štiljanović (; fl. 1498 – 1543) was the last prominent Serbian nobleman of the period of Ottoman subjugation of Serbia, and according to folklore, he was the last Despot of Serbia. He ruled a large territory under the Hungarian crown, due to his famed operations against the Ottoman Empire in the frontiers. Štiljanović is venerated as a Saint in the Serbian Orthodox Church. == Life == Štiljanović was born in Paštrovići (modern Montenegro). Paštrovići was mentioned in 1377 as one of the Serbian ''opština'', and in 1423 they became subjects of the Republic of Venice after signing a treaty amid the Ottoman expansion.〔Stanoje Stanojević, Narodna enciklopedija srpsko-hrvatsko-slovenacka, Volume 3, p. 35, Bibliografski zavod d.d., 1925〕 He was elected the ''knez'' of Paštrovići〔Gregović〕 in the Rezevici monastery,〔Rakic 1985〕 and would be the last and most celebrated one.〔 Štiljanović was a philanthropist and had seven mills in his possession.〔 He left his possessions to his people for Syrmia (modern Serbia) after a feud with the Republic of Venice, in 1498.〔 The same year he had the town of Morović built, where he would have his residence. In 1507 he gained the town of Siklós in Baranya by Louis II of Hungary. During the succession war between Ferdinand I and John Zápolya, he took the side of Ferdinand.〔Srbi: biografije znamenitih: A-Š, p. 282: "Стефан Штиљановић"〕 After the crowning of Ferdinand on November 3, 1527, he became administrator of Novigrad and Orahovica. He also gained the villages of Miholjac and Glogovnica, estates in the Virovitica county and the town of Valpovo, in which he had his residence. He administered significant towns which had earlier been under the rule of Jovan Nenad. He had his own flotilla.〔Miroslav Krleža 1975, p. 290〕 Štiljanović was commander of the Slavonian frontiersmen who fought against the Ottoman Empire. In 1543, he was defeated and captured by the Ottomans, but Murat-beg spared his life because of his famous heroism and let him free. He left Slavonia, and his last years were spent in Siklós, where he died around 1483.〔 In 1634, Serbian Patriarch Pajsije I Janjevac sojourned at the Šišatovac monastery and there he wrote the biography of Stefan Štiljanović in a modern revival of the traditional Serbian hagiographical literature. Štiljanović's relics rested at Šišatovac until World War II when they were transferred and buried on the Đuntir hill. Ottoman vezir Skender paša Mihajlović was his nephew (through his mother).〔Božidar Pejović, Svjetlost, 1977, Književno djelo Stefana Mitrova Ljubiše, p. 70〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stefan Štiljanović」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
