Petar Berislavić
Petar Berislavić was born in Trogir in 1475. He decided to follow the path of priesthood, leaving his hometown of Trogir for Hungary. In 1501 he is mentioned as a senior clergyman in Kalocsa, while in 1512 he became the Bishop of Veszprem. He also served various state duties, and in 1513 he became the Ban (viceroy) of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia. Before that he firmly advocated for Dalmatia and his hometown Trogir to be taken back from the Venetians. That, however, did not happen.
Ivan Karlović
Ivan Karlović Krbavski, from the Kurjaković lineage, was born around the year 1485. He gained the title of a duke along with various estates after his father, Duke Karlo Kurjaković, died. In the following years he did all in his power to keep the Ottoman threat away from his holdings, even by occasionally cooperating with them. Despite the occasional alliance with the Ottomans, he was forced to fight them time and again. As early as 1500, he beat them in the Battle of Gradac.
Christoph Frankopan
Christoph Frankopan (also: Krsto I. Brinjski) was most likely born in Modruš in 1482 as a child of Bernardin Frankopan and Princess Luisa of Aragon. In the early 16th century, he entered the service of King Maximillian I Habsburg, successfully waging war on the Venetians in Istria and present-day northeastern Italy. The warfare against the Venetians was shortly interrupted in 1512 and 1513, when he unsuccessfully tried to take back the island of Krk alongside his father Bernardin.
Thomas II Erdődy
Thomas II Erdődy (previously known in literature as Thomas Bakač Erdődy) was born around 1558. Two decades later, in 1578, he participated in the battles against the Ottomans near Bihać, under the command of the Ban of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia Krsto Ungnad and the Carinthian land captain Georg (Juraj) von Khevenhüller. Since then, Thomas participated in various campaigns and battles against the Ottomans, for example in the victories at Cernik and in Turopolje in 1581. In September 1583, he was named the Ban of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia.
