Kurjaković noble family

Kurjaković (de Coriach, de Curiaco, Curiacovich) were a Croatian noble family that originated from the Gusić gentis.

History

At the beginning of the 14th century, Kurjak Gusić (Curiaco de genere Gussich) founded the cadet branch, and thus his descendants started calling themselves as "Kurjaković". Several members of this branch served as Bans of Croatia:

  • Budislav Kurjaković (died February 15, 1401), ban in 1394.
  • Paul Kurjaković and Ivan Kurjaković, bans 1410-1411.
  • Ivan Karlović Torquatus, son of Charles Kurjaković i Dorothea Frankopan, (1478-1531.), ban 1521-1524. and 1527-1531.
