Biography
Makar was born in Kreževci, somewhere around 1640. He began his military career after finishing regular military schools.[2] In 1682, before the beginning of Great Turkish War, he challenged Ottoman captain of Virovitica on a duel which ended in decapitation of his enemy.[2]
He distinguished himself in Slavonian and Hungarian campaigns of Great Turkish War. In 1684, he liberated Orahovica, after routing the local Ottoman garrison. In 1686, he again led Croatian troops on campaign in Slavonia, where his army scored victory over that of Funduk-pasha of Bosnia. In same year, he again led Croatian troops across Drava river, where men under his command paritcipated in liberation of Szigetvar from the Ottomans in 1686.[3] He was subsequently appointed Szigetvar fort commander.[4] He also took part in conquests of Pécs and Kaposvár.[4][3] There he was also appointed town's fort commander, as well as the commander of Croat regiment which he himself personally recruited.[4] A Makar hill near Pecs was named after him, in memory of his victory against the Ottomans.[5]
Emperor Leopold Habsburg granted him noble status in 1687, which made him "baron Ivan Makar de Makarska".[4]
In winter of 1690, large Ottoman army crossed Sava river and after some fighting again took control over most of Slavonia including Požega. By the order of Croatian ban Nikola Erdody, Croatian troops under Makar's command were again dispatched next year to Slavonia.[6] After Makar and his soldiers chased most of the army down, the remaining Ottomans took defensive positions in Velika Francisian monastery. In order to eliminate these Ottoman invaders, Makar had the whole monastery burnt down.[7] Although, this solved the problem with the Ottoman invaders, the destruction of the monaestery, also caused major damage to Francisian monks in Slavonia.[7] Between 1694 and 1696 he was appointed commander of Novi fort and Zrin fort.[4] He was subsequently collaborating with Luka Ibrišimović in putting the liberated territory of Slavonia under the control of Diocese of Zagreb.[7]
In the late stages of Great Turkish War, Makar held military command over Virovitica-Požega region.[7] He died in year 1700, after writing his last will on 5 November of the same year.[2]
