Ivan Karlović
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivan Karlović was the ban of Croatia from 1521 to 1524 and again from 1527 to 1531. Ivan's seat was in Medvedgrad.
He is often known as Ivan Karlović of Krbava because his family owned property there. However, because of Ottoman expansion he lost much of his personal holdings. His name is mentioned in the writings of the bishop of Modrus Šimun Kožičić Benja from a speech delivered at the Fifth Council of the Lateran in 1513. He is also known to have attended a Croatian diet in Cetin in late 1526 along with several other important Croat leaders of the time. It was at this time that Croatia changed allegiance from Hungary to the Habsburgs.
His sister was the mother of future ban Nikola Šubić Zrinski.
Ivan died in 1531 and was buried in the Church of the Mother of God of Remete in Zagreb.
