Other Treasures
The earliest known reference to Guča Gora dates back to the year 1425, as documented in the charter of the Croatian-Hungarian monarch, Sigismund (1368-1437).
The charter bestowed certain properties in the Požega region of Slavonia upon Vuk Družić, a nobleman of Guča Gora, in recognition of his unwavering loyalty to the king and his long-standing representation and defense of royal interests. The charter was discovered towards the conclusion of the 19th century by Radoslav Lopašić, a Croatian lawyer and archivist. Following his passing, the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb assumed responsibility for the assortment of manuscripts and transcripts. In 1909, Lajos Thalloczy, a Hungarian historian, was the first to publicly publish the contents of the Latin-written charter, thereby making it accessible to the wider audience.
Lopašić’s legacy comprises a charter certificate and a set of documents dating back to 1425/1426, wherein Vuk Druzić from Guča Gora is referenced multiple times. These documents substantiate his migration with his family and subsequent acquisition of the property under the management of the Požega Chapter. The chapter duly notified the royal court of the takeover, which was eventually validated by the court. Of particular interest in these documents is the consistent spelling of the name Guče Gora, which has remained virtually unchanged to this day, consistently utilizing the initial letter “G”.
