At the beginning of the 13th century, when they acquired the [[Blagaj Castle]] in North Bosnia, they also adopted the name of Blagay at the same time, after the [[Blagaj Japra|Blagay]] estate they possessed. Due to wish of connecting themselves to the oldest existing families of Europe, without any written proof, the family started to claim kinship to the [[House of Orsini]], family that produced many [[Pope]]s and [[Cardinal (Catholic Church)|Cardinal]]s. As an homage to the that special connection, they added the name '''Ursini''' in front of their already existing name of '''Blagay''' and became '''Ursini von Blagay'''.<ref>https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/Institute/INZ/img/menschen/Mata/The_false_Orsini.pdf</ref> After the marriage of Count Franz Ursini von Blagay (d. 1576) to Maria Magdalena, Baroness von [[Lamberg]] (1540-1580), they also became owners of [[Boštanj, Grosuplje|Boštanj castle]], which remained in their possession until the end of the 19th century. The Counts Ursini von Blagay, cadet branch of the Babonić family, resettled to neighboring [[Carniola]] in the late 16th century after the loss of their possessions in the [[Una (Sava)|Una Valley]] to the [[Ottomans]] and automatically became part of the [[Austrian nobility]]. In the 19th century, by virtue of marriage to the Billichgrätz family, they also became owners of [[Polhov Gradec Castle]]. Family members also had a prominent role in the [[Slovenia]]n national revival in the 19th century. With the death of Count Ludwig Ursini von Balagy (1830-1897), the family died out in male line in 1897. After his death, descendants of his sister, [[Baron]]ess Mathilde von Lauer (1833-1922), who outlived him for another 25 years, as [[next of kin]], as designated heirs adopted the family name and incorporated into their own, being [[Freiherr|Barons]] Lauer-Ursini von Blagay.<ref>Rodbina Ursini-Blagay, ''Slovenski biografski leksikon'' https://www.slovenska-biografija.si/rodbina/sbi750045/</ref><ref>https://www.slovenska-biografija.si/rodbina/sbi750045/</ref><ref>http://w.genealogy.euweb.cz/hung/blagai2.html</ref><ref>https://opacplus.bsb-muenchen.de/Vta2/bsb11046579/bsb:6544301?page=855</ref>

The Babonić family (Hungarian: Babonics or Vodicsai) was an old and powerful Croatian noble family from the medieval Slavonia whose most notable members were Bans (viceroys) of Slavonia and Croatia.

History

[edit]

The first known member of this family who appeared in written documents at the end of the 12th century is Stephen I, known as Babon († at the beginning of the 13th century). The original possessions of Babonić were located on the right bank of the Kupa river between today's Karlovac and Sisak. Their first important stronghold was the town of Steničnjak. They built a stronghold in Blagaj on the Sana in 1240, and the Blagaj Castle in Blagaj on the Korana around 1266.

The rise of the family began at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries when they received enormous estates from the Kings of Hungary.[3][4][5] At the time of their greatest power, they held huge area from Carniola to Vrbas and from Sava to Gvozd, which also included fortified towns of Medvedgrad, Susedgrad, Kostanjevica and Mehovo.

They were related by blood to the most powerful families of the region, Counts of Gorizia, Venetian Morosini family, Zrinski, Frankopan and the Bosnian Kotromanić royal family through intermarriages.[3]

The family divided their properties in 1313 and 1314 between brothers Ivan (d. after 1334), Stjepan IV (d. 1316) and Radoslav II (fl. 1284–1314). Radoslav received the town and estate of Blagaj on the Sana (Blagay), and his sons stopped using the family name, rather referring to themselves as Counts of Blagay.[2]
