Radič Božić

Radič Božić (Serbian: Радич Божић, Hungarian: Radics Bosics ; fl.

[1] By the end of the 15th century, he left Ottoman-occupied Serbia for Hungary, and received the towns of Solymos and Lippa by Hungarian king.

He was part of the Hungarian-Serbian army that crossed into Serbia and Bulgaria in 1502 and burnt the Ottoman bases at Braničevo, Kladovo, Vidin and Nikopol.

In 1527, king John decided to create his own Despot of Serbia, in order to attract Serbian nobility and soldiers to his side, and chose Radič, granting him the title.

As newly created Despot of Serbia, he remained loyal to king John until his death in September 1528.
