Early life

According to

Bjelopavlići (present day Montenegro).[1][2] His family hailed from Novi Pazar.[3] With the failure of the Austro-Serbian campaign during the Great Turkish War (1683–99), a large migration of Serbs

Habsburg-occupied Serbia (1686–91).[5] The Serbs established a Hajduk army that supported the Austrians.[6]

Upon the

Kingdom of Serbia (1718–39), Mlatišuma received the rank of Obercapitain (First Captain) of Kragujevac[4]
in payment for his services.

Interwar period

The Kragujevac district, one of the most important and dangerous in the Serbian Military Frontier (Militärgrenze) due to its proximity to the Ottoman border, was put under Mlatišuma's command together with one of the hajduk companies in charge of direct border protection. In addition, he was also the second highest authority of the whole Serbian militia below the supreme commander Major Vuk Isaković. He was responsible for reporting to the Central Command in Belgrade the outbreak of an alleged vampire epidemic in Kragujevac that is dated to April 1725, making it the first official report of vampirism in the Military Frontier.[7] In other parts of Habsburg ruled Kingdom of Serbia similar cases followed, in which at least one Mlatišuma was involved, after which the Serbian word vampir entered German and later other world languages.

He was sent to the

Peć.[11]

The Military Governor notified the people of the organization of the Militia in Serbia to set up outposts along the Habsburg–Ottoman border.
hajduks" were collected, who were to be used for protection of the border and other services.[16] The army was divided into 18 companies, in four groups.[17] The most notable obercapitains were Vuk Isaković from Crna Bara, Mlatišuma and Kosta Dimitrijević from Paraćin.[6]
In Kragujevac, there were two companies of 500 soldiers each.

His forces attacked Užice.[18] Mlatišuma's forces liberated Kruševac on 20 July 1737[19] and carried much cattle.[20] Colonel Lentulus ordered that part of the cattle be returned to the population, the second part was sent to Sekendorf, the third held by the colonel to the need of his army.[20]

On 7 January 1739 he led attacks in Morava and Rudnik.[21]

He had settled 1,000 Christians in Habsburg territory after the war, during what is known as the "Second Great Migration". He was imprisoned in 1740, and is believed to have died the same year.

He is enumerated in Serbian epic poetry, collected by Vuk Karadžić (1787–1864).[22] Sima Milutinović Sarajlija (1791–1847) wrote about him.[2] The Šumanović brotherhood in Crna Bara claim kindred.[23]
