Draft:Mihajlo Mikasinovic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mihajlo Mikašinović (Serbian Cyrillic: Михајло Микашиновић; Koprivnica, Habsburg Monarchy, 1715 - Vienna, Habsburg Monarchy, 1774) was the first Serbian general (Lieutenant field marshal) in the Habsburg Monarchy.[1] In 1760 he received the title of Baron and in 1766 he was elevated to the rank of Lieutenant field marshal.[1] He was the first Serb to receive the noble title of baron without first renouncing Eastern Orthodoxy and accepting Roman Catholicism like many before and after him.[2]

At a government-sponsored church council in 1769, he did not support the Austrian candidate for archbishop, but supported Danilo Jakšić, the Serbian Orthodox bishop of Upper Karlovac, who protected Serbian interests. That is why he was immediately sent from Osijek to Sremski Karlovci. His activities and writings were monitored by the Austrian authorities. In 1771 he retired and and moved back to his native town of Koprivnica.

Mihajlo Mikašinović died from an illness in Vienna in 1774.[1]He was 59.
