Matko Talovac

Matko Talovac

Matko Talovac (or Máté Tallóci) was ban (viceroy) of Slavonia from 1435 to 1445.

He was from the island of Korčula and was also a citizen of the Republic of Dubrovnik. He held land in Toplovica (some sources call it Thallowch, Talloca), given to him by Emperor Sigismund from which he took the name Talovac. In 1430 he was the castellan of Kovin.

In service to Emperor Sigmund he was named the steward of the Zagreb bishopric in 1433; in 1434 he was named prior of Vrana and in 1435 he was named ban of all Slavonia. His rulership came at a time of rapturous Ottoman incursions into Croatian territory and internal fighting of feudal lords.

Matko's brother Petar Talovac was the ban of Croatia and Dalmatia from 1438 to 1453. His second brother Franko was ban of Severin, prefect of Temeš and captain of Belgrade. His third brother Ivan of Vrana was the prior of Vrana.

Accepting the royal gifts of lands, the Talovac brothers were for a time the most powerful gentlemen in all of the Croatian lands. Their rule extended from Belgrade to Senj and from the Drava to the Neretva.

Matko Talovac died in 1445.
