Janko Drašković
Janko Drašković ( Hungarian: ''Draskovich János''; 20 October 1770 – 14 January 1856) was a Croatian politician associated with the beginnings of the 19th-century national revival, the Illyrian movement. He studied law and philosophy before joining the military until he was discharged on medical grounds. In the 1790s, Drašković pursued a political career, winning a seat in the Croatian Parliament and the Diet of Hungary. Advocating protection of Croatian interests against the threats of Germanisation and Magyarisation in the Habsburg monarchy and subsequently, in the Austrian Empire, Drašković preferred gradual political reforms. He became a leading figure in the Croatian national revival following the 1832 publication of the ''Dissertation'', a manifesto outlining the main problems Croatia faced in terms of political, cultural, economic, and social development and cohesion. The ''Dissertation'' became largely regarded as the programme of the Croatian national revival ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ensign (rank)
Ensign (; Late Middle English, from Old French (), from Latin (plural)) is a junior rank of a commissioned officer in the armed forces of some countries, normally in the infantry or navy. As the junior officer in an infantry regiment was traditionally the carrier of the ensign flag, the rank acquired the name. This rank has generally been replaced in army ranks by second lieutenant. Ensigns were generally the lowest-ranking commissioned officer, except where the rank of subaltern existed. In contrast, the Arab rank of ensign, لواء, ''liwa''', derives from the command of units with an ensign, not the carrier of such a unit's ensign, and is today the equivalent of a major general. In Thomas Venn's 1672 ''Military and Maritime Discipline in Three Books'', the duties of ensigns are to include not only carrying the color but assisting the captain and lieutenant of a company and in their absence, have their authority. "Ensign" is ''enseigne'' in French, and ''chorąży'' in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Drašković Family
The Drašković, also spelled Draskovich in English, 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. History There is no reliable data on the family before the 15th century. The first reliable information is provided by three documents written in Glagolitic alphabet in 1490 (mentioning "35 noblemen of the Drašković family" from 18 families), kept at the Budapest National Archives. 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. ...
