Jovan Ovčarević
Jovan Ovčarević (Serbian Cyrillic: Јован Овчаревић; fl. 1557) was a Habsburg Serb nobleman. He was a member of the Ovčarević family, a notable Serb family in Habsburg service in the 16th century, and was a kinsman or descendant of the earlier Petar Ovčarević (fl. 1521–41), a Šajkaši commander and spy, and relative of contemporaries Mihailo Ovčarević (fl. 1550–79), a Šajkaši commander, and Dimitrije Ovčarević (fl. 1552–66), the captain of Gyula.[1][2] Jovan Ovčarević was mentioned as accompanying a mission to the sultan in 1557,[3] being in the entourage of Vrančić and Franja Zaj while they were legates in Constantinople.[4] Nothing more is known of him.[1][4]
