Barilović

Barilović is a village and a municipality in central Croatia, in the Karlovac County.

History

During the Gomirje conflict, Lord Barilović had raised the issue of Vlach soldiers taking over their castle at the Pressburg Diet of 1604, which decided in his favour against the General of Karlovac, Veit Khisl. Khisl defended his actions with a narration of events from his perspective. Since the Barilović family could no longer maintain the castle against "the enemy's daily attacks" (), they decided to set it on fire rather than give credit to the haramije who had previously defended it. So the castle of Barilović stood deserted for a long time, but finally, General Khisl decided to confiscate it becaus it was located on a ford. When Lord Barilović found out, he improved its gate and kept a poor serf in it, asking Khisl to hand over the haramije sent by Khisl to guard it to his control. When Khisl replied that he could not do that for important reasons, they recalled their serf from the castle and left it deserted. Khisl then occupied it, contrary to Barilović's accusations not using newly settled Vlachs but those of a previous settlement, who had previously served as haramije on the Mrežnica. Khisl thus denied the accusation that his "Karlovac" soldiers had raided Barilović's villages, harming their subjects.

In the 16th century, Barilović became a part of the Austrian Military Frontier, with its own Barilović Capitanate. Known captains include:

# Jakov Zemlić (1615)
