Grgur Kurjaković

Grgur Kurjaković or Gregory of Corbavia (Italian: Gregorio di Corbavia; fl. 1325-) was a Croatian knez (count[1]) of Krbava, one of the most notable Croatian magnates,[2] in the service of the Hungarian kings.

Grgur was a member of the Gusić noble family. His father was Kurjak (Curiacio), count of Corbavia. He had two brothers, Budislav and Pavle (Paolo).[1]

Metropolitan Arsenije of Prizren, kaznac Baldovin, vojvoda Gradislav, župan Vratko, knez Grgur Kurjaković, stavilac Miloš, vojvoda Dejan Manjak, Gradislav Sušenica, Nikola Buća, and archdeacon Marin Baranić, all signed the document issued by Serbian king Stefan Uroš III, dated 22 January 1325, for the sale of some maritime possessions to the Republic of Ragusa.[3][4]

He is mentioned having stolen two katuni of Morlachs from his nephew Ivan Nelipić.[5]

He married Margarita Nelipić. Grgur had a son, Grgur Kurjaković II (fl. 1346),[1] who also served the Hungarian kings.
