The Pavlovići, also known as Jablanići after their family estate at Jablan grad, was a medieval family in Bosnia that ruled parts of eastern and southeastern Bosnia. The family had their seat at Borač (Rogatica). Their most known member and founder was Pavle Radenović, who ruled a territory in the east of the Bosnian Kingdom from the late 14th century until his death in 1415.

History

The family hailed and ruled from Jablan grad (Mezgraja, Ugljevik). Raden Jablanić was a local lord of Krivaja and Prača and father of Pavle Radenović.

Pavle Radenović was plotted against by king Ostoja and Sandalj Hranić, and was killed in 1415 and buried in Vrhbosna.[1]

Coat of arms

The Pavlović family left six seals, which all have the same heraldic symbol, a tower, or fortified city.[2] The oldest coat of arms is that of Pavle, dated to 1397, which has a fortified city with one tower.[2] On the seals of his son, Radoslav, one has one tower (1432), the other three (1437), while Radoslav's son Ivaniš has three towers in his seal.[2] The fortification is most likely modeled after Ragusan seals.[2] This seal was likely used as the family coat of arms, despite the fact that there are no authentic complete coat of arms with shield, helmet and crest.[2]

In two stećci in Boljuni near Stolac, there are engravings of a castle with three towers, which Š. Bešlagić believes to have belonged to members of the family.[2] On the other hand, there is an assumption that the necropolis at Pavlovac near Sarajevo belonged to the family, thus, the resting place of the family remains unsolved.[2]

The Illyrian Armorials depict the family coat of arms as a fortified city with three towers, on both the shield and the crest.[2] The red shield has a golden city, while the city in the crest is red.[2] The mantling is red, with an interior of golden.[2] The Ohmučević Armorial added three golden fleur-de-lis in the shield, however, that interpretation is not in line with sphragistics, and is likely to be decorative.[2]

According to Croatian archaeologist Ćiro Truhelka (1865–1942), the Illyrian Armorials, according to its "ideological-propagandic message", used the red color in the coat of arms, instead of Radoslav Pavlović's coat of arms in Ragusa which used ultramarine.[3] According to Nada Grujić and Danko Zelić Radoslav Pavlović's coat of arms was in gold and lapis lazuli.[4] Radoslav Pavlović's coat of arms at his palace in Ragusa was made by Ratko Ivančić in 1427, measuring 1,28x1,28 m.[5]
