Life
Teodor Graf Pejačević von Virovitica was born as the second child and older son of Ladislav Pejačević (* 1824 - † 1901) and his wife Gabrijela. Döry Freiin von Jobahaza (* 1830 - † 1913) born. His father was also a Ban of Croatia (1880-1883).
He studied law at the universities of Bonn and Budapest and became a doctor of law . On January 22nd, 1881 he married the Freiin Elizabeta (Lilla) geb. Vay de Vaya, and they had five children: Marko, Velimir, Teodora (Dora) , Elizabeta and Gabrijela.
Pejačević was a long-time grandchild of Virovitica (1886–1901), Ban of Croatia (1903–1907) and Minister in the Hungarian government (1913–1917) of Prime Minister István Tisza .
At the beginning of the 20th century he helped shape a new direction in Croatian politics, which was characterized by the alliance between Croats and Serbs in Croatia, with the aim of achieving common advantages within the Habsburg monarchy . In 1905, a political coalition was agreed between Croatian and Serbian politicians, which ruled the Croatian lands from 1906 to 1918 (i.e. until the dissolution of the Habsburg monarchy).
As a supporter of the ruling coalition, Pejačević supported the resistance to the Hungarian demand of 1907 to introduce the Hungarian language as the official language of the Croatian railways at that time . Since this resistance failed, Pejačević was forced to resign.
His third child, Dora , a well-known Croatian composer and violinist , was born in 1885 .
