Ruđić (15th century)

In the first half of the 15th century, several people with the surname Ruđić (Serbian Cyrillic: Руђић) were mentioned in Ragusan documents. These include, most notably:

  • Bogeta Ruđić (Богета Руђић; fl. 1423) was a župan (count) formerly serving Bosnian vojvoda (duke) Sandalj Hranić (1370–1435), who after the Republic of Ragusa's purchase of Konavle and the decision that all inhabitants be regarded serfs led a rebellion with his brothers against Ragusa.[1] The rebels were helped by Trebinje and other neighbours, most of all by subjects of vojvoda Radoslav Pavlović.[2] The result was an agreement that three families, the Ruđići, Bogojevići and Radinkovići, "who held a good part of that area", continue their service for some time under Sandalj.[3]
  • Živko Ruđić (Живко Руђић; fl. 1422–29) was a Ragusan merchant, a companion of affluent merchant Luka Milanović (fl. 1420–d. 1429), dealing with precious metals from Bosnia and Serbia.[4]
