The House of Drašković (English: Draskovich), is a prominent Croatian noble family, supposedly descended from an old Croatian noble tribe of Kršelac, Stupić or Poletčić, while others considered the Mogorović family but it is less likely because they had a different coat of arms.
In the 15th century, they owned an estate in Donje Zazično (today's Donje Pazarište) in the Buška parish and around Knin in Dalmatia, which is why Bartol, who started the family's noble line, was in a document from 1520, referred to as "Kninjanin" ("from Knin").
In the first half of the 16th century, due to the Turkish threat, Bartol left Zazično and moved to the Kolpa river valley in Croatia proper.
The Drašković family also occupied the Klenovnik Castle, the largest in Croatia before renovating Trakošćan in the mid-19th century.
From the 16th to the 19th century, several family members became renowned in Croatia as politicians, army leaders, and religious dignitaries.
