Novak Petrović (Serbian: Новак Петровић; Ottoman Empire, c. 1640 - Habsburg Monarchy, 1699) was a Serbian Militia commander in the Great Turkish War which was prosecuted from 1683 to 1699.[1]He is best remembered to have mustered Serbs in Banat and formed a strong popular detachment putting it under the command of the imperial general, Count Ladislaus Csáky[2].
Biography[edit]
Novak Petrović came from Ottoman-occupied Serbia to live and fight for Serbian emancipation from the Turkish yoke in the Habsbug Empire. [3]In Serbian Bačka, Novak Petrović and other leaders offered the Vienna court to recruit in Serbia and bring 10,000 armed Serbs to be conscripted in the service of Imperial Austrian generals or Serbian Militia commanders but not Hungarians in the struggle against the invading Ottomans [4].
In the summer of 1687, Captain Novak Petrović was responsible for the re-settlement of 4,892 Serb warriors from the vicinity of Timișoara to then Austrian Military Frontier municipalities of Bačka and Srem and had them placed in the service of Imperial Austria under the command of General Nehem, who relocated them as national militia in Csongrad, Martonoš, Senta, Bečej and Subotica[5].
As a result of Petrović's merits, he was appointed Captain of the Serbs of Banat, commanding a total of 5,000 soldiers in Szeged. Furthermore, Petrović was successful in convincing Emperor Leopold I to use the friendly Serbian populous in Banat as "friends fighting along with friends against the Turks": uti amicis contra Turcarum proeliantibus, though not as refugees or aliens[6].
