Petar Keglević

Petar Keglević

Petar Keglević of Bužim (-1554 or 1555) was the ban of Croatia, Dalmatia, and Slavonia from 1537 to 1542.

From 1521 to 1522 he was captain, and later ban, of Jajce. He distinguished himself in battles against the Ottoman Empire. After the Battle of Mohács he sided with Emperor Ferdinand against John Zápolya. From 1533 to 1537 he was the royal commissary for Croatia and Slavonia, while from 1538 to 1542 he was ban.

He increased his family's holdings through purchases (Kostel, Krapina) and royal gifts (Bijela Stijena near Pakrac, Novigrad, Lobor). After the death of Keglević's son-in-law Gašpar Ernušt, he assumed ownership of his possessions in Međimurje. Because of this Emperor Ferdinand removed him from his position as ban, confiscating his properties, and imprisonning him (1546). In 1548 he was granted an amnesty, and was returnedall of his goods along with his grandfather's Bužim where he died in 1554 or 1555.
