Šimun Radojčić

Šimun Radojčić, better known by the sobriquet Delišimun (Šimun the brave), was a 16th-century Croatian Uskok leader and castellan of Klis Fortress. His descendants adopted the hereditary surname Delišimunović (son of Šimun the brave).[1]

Šimun Radojčić served as the castellan of Klis Fortress during the years 1530 – 1537, a period of constant Ottoman attacks in Dalmatia.[2]

After the fall of Klis, Šimun's family relocated to the Military Frontier, moving to Pokuplje, where they owned Radojčić Castle near Duga Resa. They later relocated to the Žumberak mountains. His son Petar Delišimunović served as captain of Gvozdansko and castellan of Blagaj on the Korana, while later descendants included Franjo Delišimunović, János Delišimunović, Krsto Delišimunović, and Franjo Krsto Delišimunović.[1]
