Career

In 1462 Dóczy was a captain of the Belgrade fortress.[6] In period between 1476 and 1479 he was a commander of the Hungarian fleet of hundred ships on Danube and Sava.[9] A part of his fleet participated in Hungarian capture of Šabac (Hungarian: Szabács) in 1476.[9] In 1480 he was a ban of Jajce.[10] At the end of 1480, together with Vuk Grgurević Branković and Hungarian ban of Slavonia Ladislaus Egervári, Dóczy attacked and plundered the Sanjak of Bosnia whose sanjakbey was Koca Davud Pasha.[11] They managed to reach Vrhbosna[12] and plundered it for three days.[13]

Dóczy traveled to Istanbul to meet Ottoman sultan Mehmed two times as envoy of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus.[14] On 9 September 1482 Dóczy, Grgurević and Pavle Kanjiži defeated Ottoman forces of 10,000 spearmen near Óbecse (today: Bečej, Serbia).[15] Ottomans had intention to reach and plunder the region of Temesvár (today: Timișoara, Romania).[16]

In Serbian epic poetry

In Serbian epic poetry Dóczy became Petar Dojčin, ban of Varadin.[17] The most famous epic song about Petar Dojčin is "Dojčin Petar and King Matthias" (Serbian: Дојчин Петар и Краљ Матијаш) also known as "Petar Dojčin drinks wine" (Serbian: Вино пије Дојчин Петар), which is published for the first time in period between 1716 and 1733 in Erlangen Manuscript.[8][18]

Petar Dojčin and Bolani Dojčin, another hero of Serbian epic poetry, are unrelated.
