Marko Štitarac (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Штитарац; Štitar, Ottoman Empire, 1789 - Kragujevac, Principality of Serbia, 17 September 1830) was one of the most important participants in the First and Second Serbian Uprising, and Miloš Obrenović's most trusted man.[1]
Biography
[edit]Marko Štitarac was born in the village of Štitar, after which he got his nickname. His last name is unknown. He was loyal to Miloš Obrenović to the very end, and often killed people whom Miloš Obrenović did not trust. Marko Štitarac was responsible for the murder of Bishop Melentije Simeonović Nikšić and priest Nikola Smiljanić, ordered personally by Miloš Obrenović.
A monument was erected to Marko Štitarac in the town of Šabac. He bore the title of "Prince of Swords and Pocerina".
He was buried in the village of Pocerski Dobrić. His grave is located next to the foundations of the Dobrić church built in 1827 on the initiative of Marko Štitarac, at the place where the Turks burned two previous log churches. In the annals of the church in the village of Dobrić, the parish priest of this church, Dobrivoje Mandić, wrote: "...it is not known how long the first church served, but it is known that the Turks burned it down. Later, the people built a second church on the same spot and this one served until 1812, when the Turks burned it to the ground. From that time, the people went to nearby churches and monasteries, and it lasted until 1820. That year, the knaz of Mačva and Pocerina, Marko Štitarac, was traveling with his entourage around the principalities, and when he was returning to his home in the village of Varna, he passed by the gate of the Dobrić church and there he saw several shepherds praying to God and burning incense Marko decided to build a new church on the same spot, which was completed in 1827 and has been serving since that time until today..."[2] The village of Bogosavac was displaced, so Marko Štitarac, on the orders of Jevrem Obrenović, built it.
