Todor Rupić
Todor Rupić (Serbian: Тодор Рупић; 1640-1699) was a Serbian Militia commander in the Great Turkish War who in the first half of 1691 successfully fought the Turks in Banat.[1]Todor Rupić, Jovan Monasterlija and other Serbian leaders, including Metropolitan Isaija Đaković and Patriarch Arsenije III Crnojević[2]supported Đorđe Branković as the supreme leader (despot) of the Serbian population[3][4]then living in the Habsburg Monarchy. For that reason, the Serbs went on to fight vehemently against the persistence and unrelenting invasion into the heart of Europe by the Ottoman Caliphate for almost 17 years. In fact, for the duration of the Great Turkish War (1683-1699), all the while Leopold I kept count Đorđe Branković incarcerated because the Habsburgs were apprehensive of possible Russian involvement in the Balkans. A fear that was proven unfounded by historians.[5]
