Stanoje Glavaš

Stanoje Glavaš Stamatović ( Cyrillic. Станоје Стаматовић Главаш * 1763 in Salevac at Smederevska Palanka , † 1815 in Baničina in Smederevska Palanka) was a Wojwodenführer during the First Serbian Uprising and Heiduck .

Life

Stanoje Glavaš was born in 1763 in Salevac (today Glibovac) near Smederevska Palanka as the youngest of three children. The surname Glavaš, in German head or head , he probably got as a Heiducken leader. After the father's death, the mother remarried and moved with Stanoje to Smederevska Palanka, while the two older sons Petar and Janko stayed in Salevac. It is not known when Stanoje Glavaš joined the Heiducken. Around 1790 he is named together with Stanko Arambašić and Lazar Dobrić as the leader of a Heiducken group in the Russo-Austrian Turkish War from 1787 to 1792. After the Peace of Swishtov , he and Lazar Dobrić returned to central Serbia. Here he and his Heiducken fought against the unauthorized Osman Pazvantoğlu , who were supported by the Janissaries stationed in central Serbia . At that time Stanoje Glavaš was considered the Heiducken leader of the district of Smederevo . Karađorđe and Veljko Petrović served under his command for a while ; Glavaš was to marry with the latter.

First Serbian uprising

When the Serbs were preparing the First Serbian Uprising against the Ottoman Empire , Stanoje Glavaš was one of the main candidates for the leader of the uprising. He refused and instead suggested Karađorđe, who was actually elected leader. Glavaš became the voivode of the Smederevo district. He distinguished himself in the Battle of Deligrad and in the conquest of Belgrade in 1806. With a good 2,500 infantrymen, 500 riders and a single cannon, he wrested Prokuplje and Kuršumlija from the Ottomans . Later he and his soldiers fought in the area between Niš and Novi Pazar .

When the uprising in 1813 ultimately failed and the Ottomans recaptured the rebellious Serbia, Glavaš initially withdrew to become active again when attempting a second uprising in 1814, the so-called Hajji Prodanović uprising , which was suppressed. Glavaš was tracked down in the village of Baničina near Smederevska Palanka and killed there; his head was hung up among others on the walls of the Belgrade Fortress . Glavaš's sister was later able to buy her brother's decapitated head from the Ottomans and buried the latter together with the corpse on the grounds of the Church of St. Archangel in Baničina.
