Drekale
}) was according to tradition the chieftain (''vojvoda'', "duke") of the Kuči tribe and founder of the Drekalovići brotherhood which produced the chieftains of Kuči for three centuries. Name There are differing views on the etymology of ''Drekale''. One view maintains that it is derived from the archaic Slavic Verb ''dreka'' (as in ''derati se'') "to scream, shout, outcry". However, according to Pavel Rovinsky, ''Drekale'' is the Albanian-language corruption of ''Andrej''; that being his actual name. Similarly, Mehmet Ahmetaj argues that the name is a compound of the Albanian anthroponyms ''Ndre(ri)'' + ''Kalë'' and is reflected in micro-toponyms such as ''Gropa e Drekalit'' (Albanian for "Drekali's Pit") in the village of Stjepoh in Trieshi. History Drekale was elected the position of '' vojvoda'' ("duke") of the Kuči tribe probably in the second half of the 16th century, based on the proposal of Dreca Dedin. According to a story, ''vojvoda'' Žijo Peralov of Kosor mar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lale Drekalović
}; sq, Lala Drekali) was a vojvoda of the Kuči tribe in eastern Montenegro in the first half of the 17th century. Life His father was Drekale and his mother was the daughter of a vojvoda of Old Kuči. He had a brother, Nikolla who died with his father in a raid by Kelmendi. The memory of the event has been retained in the folk poem and song '' Pogibija vojvode Drekala i njegova osveta'' (The death of vojvoda Drekale and his revenge) that was recorded in the 1930s. A gravestone was placed in 1979 in Rikavačko Jezero, very close to the Montenegro-Albania border, where he is thought to have died. The earliest description of him is in the report of the Venetian Mariano Bolizza, who travelled in the lands of modern Montenegro and northern Albania to document possible trade routes to Istanbul. In his report, Bolizza notes that ''Lale Drecalou'' and ''Nico Raizcou'' (Niko Rajckov) were the commanders of the Catholic Albanian Kuči (''Chuzzi Albanesi'') which had 490 households and 1 ...

Drekalovići
The Drekalovići ( cyrl, Дрекаловићи; sq, Ndrekalorë) are a historical union of brotherhoods of Kuči with an Albanian origin. Their patron saint ( slava) is St. Nicholas (Nikoljdan). They were part of a wave of settlement in the mid 16th century in the area of Kuči, and came to form an important part of it. Unlike the brotherhoods that form Old Kuči (the families that already lived in the area before their arrival) the Drekalovići all claim ancestry from a single ancestor, Drekale after whom they are named. Originally, a Catholic and Albanian-speaking tribe, they gradually became Orthodox and Slavic-speaking, in particular after the conversion of their leader Lale Drekalov in the 17th century when Rufim Njeguš was Metropolitan of Cetinje.Ivan Jovović, 2013, Dvooltarske crkve na crnogorskom primorju, https://www.maticacrnogorska.me/files/53/06%20ivan%20jovovic.pdf #page= 69 The Drekalovići marry within Kuči, but historically form no marriage with Beris ...

Berisha (tribe)
Berisha is a historical Albanian tribe (''fis'') and region in Pukë, northern Albania. Berisha is one of the oldest documented Albanian tribes, first recorded in 1242 in Dulcigno. In the Middle Ages, it was widely spread across northern Albania, southern Montenegro and Kosovo. People who traced their origin to Berisha are also found in the coastal trading hubs of Dalmatia in the Middle Ages. Berisha formed its own territorial community in Pukë in the course of the 14th century. In the apex of feudal development in Albania at the end of the 13th and during the long 14th century, Berisha was in a process of de-tribalization and reorganization of some branches as feudal families. This process stopped in the wake of the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans in the 15th century and was followed by a strengthening of tribal and kinship ties in the region. Berisha of Pukë is a Catholic ''fis''. In the Ottoman period, brotherhoods (''vllazni'') from Puka settled in parts of Tropojë, so ...

16th-century Serbian People
The 16th century begins with the Julian year 1501 ( MDI) and ends with either the Julian or the Gregorian year 1600 ( MDC) (depending on the reckoning used; the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The 16th century is regarded by historians as the century which saw the rise of Western civilization and the Islamic gunpowder empires. The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science. Galileo Galilei became a champion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Serbian Epic Poetry
Serbian epic poetry ( sr, Српске епске народне песме, Srpske epske narodne pesme) is a form of epic poetry created by Serbs originating in today's Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and North Macedonia. The main cycles were composed by unknown Serb authors between the 14th and 19th centuries. They are largely concerned with historical events and personages. The instrument accompanying the epic poetry is the ''gusle''. Serbian epic poetry helped in developing the Serbian national identity, Serbian national consciousness. The cycles of Prince Marko, the Hajduks and Uskoks inspired the Serbs to restore freedom and their heroic past. The Hajduks in particular, are seen as an integral part of national identity; in stories, the hajduks were heroes: they had played the role of the Serbian elite during Ottoman rule, they had defended the Serbs against Ottoman oppression, and prepared for the national liberation and contributed to it in the Serbian R ...
