THE NOBLE FAMILY HRELJANOVIĆ

Summary/Abstract: The Hreljanović's are an old noble family from Senj, descending from Uskoks. The aristocratic charter and the royal grant of coat of arms were given to them by the king Ferdinand I in 1558 and confirmed with a new charter by the Archduke Ferdinand in 1611.
