The House of Talovac[1] (Hungarian: Tallóci) was a Croatian noble family, descending from the island of Korčula[2] and reaching its peak in the 15th century in the Kingdom of Croatia, at that time in personal union with Hungary.

Some historians believe that members of the family met Sigismund of Luxemburg, King of Hungary and Croatia (who was in Dubrovnik after the Battle of Nicopolis) as early as 1396, while others believe it happened later, around 1427.

From the old castle, about 100×80 meters in size, there are only few remains in a forest today, several kilometers southeast of the similar-named present-day village of Topolovica (in the municipality of Veliki Grđevac).

In addition to the Talovac estate, the family also owned Đurđevac in Podravina, Orljavac at Brestovac, Čazma and Voćin in Slavonia,[7] Brčko, Srebrenik and Grabovac at Čelinac in Usora-Soli County (in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina), Kamičak, Knin, Klis, Sinj, Omiš, Poljica and Čačvina in southern Croatia, as well as others.

The Talovac brothers distinguished themselves in the military intervention in 1436 ordered by Sigismund, in which they captured the castles, fortresses and properties, previously belonging to the Nelipčić family, that had been taken over by the Croatian Ban (Viceroy) Ivan VI Frankopan against the will of the king.

The king gave the property to the Talovac family for their merits and awarded them the title "Princes of Cetina and Klis" (Croatian: Knezovi cetinski i kliški).
