Summary/Abstract: The bearers of the surname Kapičić in the Trebinje area can be followed for a whole century in three generations (1417-1525). Preserved sources represent them for a long time as road robbers operating in the northeastern area of Trebinje, controlling the Bosnian (Drina) and Nikšić roads. At the beginning of the 16th century, they participated in credit trade as debtors and were engaged in the transportation of goods from Dubrovnik to Novi Pazar, Kruševac, Niš and Sofia. The Kapičići are the people of Trebinje lord Ostoja Poznanović. The first generation is represented by Dobro (1417-1426), Dobrilo (1417-1434), Ljubiša (1421-1444), Obrad (1434) and probably Radat Kapičić (+1421). Through three generations, the family line of Dobril Kapičić is best known.
