The '''Croce''' (In Italian; {{lang-la|Crosio}}; known in Croatian as '''Kručić''') was a [[Ragusan]] [[Ragusan nobility|noble family]] from the ancient [[Dalmatia]]n city of [[Dubrovnik]], which held noble titles in the [[Republic of Ragusa]]. Some of its representatives were state [[official]]s and the family is considered to be among the ten richiest [[Aristocracy|aristocratic]] families of the Republic in the 14th century. |
|||
== History == |
|||
There are very few reliable data on the family in the earliest history of Dubrovnik. The first known mention of family appears in the 13th century. During the 14th century the members of the family took part in the three land or [[Real estate|estate]] allocations of the newly acquired or old territories of the Republic: in 1333 in [[Pelješac]], in 1366 in upper parts of Astarea, and in 1399 in [[Dubrovačko Primorje]], northwest from the city. |
|||
In the two-century-long period of time, from 1440 to 1640, there were in total 10 members of the family who entered the Grand Council (''Consilium maius''), a body consisting of all adult Ragusan noblemen. Two of them were elected to the Senate (''Consilium rogatorum''), and a single one as [[Knez (title)|Rector (Knez)]] of the Republic, the head of the state. |
|||
Although small and not branchy, gradually losing its [[wealth]] and influence, the family still persisted until the 18th century, when its last descendant died. |
|||
The most notable member of the family was [[Joannes de Cruce]] (Giovanni della Croce, Ivan Kručić), a Ragusan [[Dominican Order|Dominican]] who became bishop of [[Ston]] (and later bishop of [[Korčula]]) at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century. |
