Ozrinići (tribe)

Ozrinići (Serbian Cyrillic: Озринићи) is a tribe in the Katunska nahija of the Montenegro Vilayet and Principality of Montenegro.[1]

History

Jovan Cvijić listed 21 tribes in the territory of Old Montenegro, 7 in Brda (Highlands), 16 in Old Herzegovina and 2 in Primorje (Montenegrin littoral). They were divided into two distinct groups; Old Montenegrin, and the tribes in the Highlands. The latter were concentrated in the northeast of Zeta river, and predominantly consisted of tribes who fled Ottoman occupation, and got incorporated into Montenegro following the battles at Martinići and Kruši. Ozrinici tribe are mentioned as part of an old Montenegrin tribes (1796).[2]

Ozrinići was first mentioned in the 1489 charter of Ivan Crnojević, then in the 1570–71 defter (tax register) of Dukagjin. Five families of the Ozrinići founded the settlement of Ozrinići in the Nikšić area in 1597.[1] Ozrinići was the largest tribe in Katunska nahija, one of the four provinces of Old Montenegro.

In 1829, the Ozrinići and Cuce had an armed conflict against neighboring Bjelice, and Petar I Petrović-Njegoš sent Sima Milutinović Sarajlija and Mojsije to negotiate peace among them.[3]
