Josip Jelačić von Bužim was born on 16 October 1801 into the House of Jelačić. He rose through the ranks of the Imperial Austrian Army to lieutenant field marshal, a military career that would collide with the continent's most volatile moment. On 23 March 1848, he became Ban of Croatia - governor in all but name - just as revolutions tore through European capitals. While commanding campaigns that year, he abolished serfdom in Croatia, dismantling the feudal order in a single stroke. He held the Ban's post until 19 April 1859 and died a month later, on 20 May.
