Jamomet family

The Jamometić or Jamomet family was a Croatian noble family and one of the twelve noble tribes in the Kingdom of Croatia. They lived in Krbava and Pounje in the 14th century. The Jamomet family is mentioned in the Pacta Conventa, together with the tribes of Prklje and Bilinjane in the Zadar hinterland in the Krneza village on the northwestern edge of Ravni Kotari, but none of them were nobles.

They belonged to the lower nobility, and they originally were located in the wider Zadar hinterland, in the County of Lučka or around Ostrovica. They were first mentioned in the 13th century. In the second half of the 13th century, a member of the family called Vučeta, served as the mayor of Nin (1284–1302) and Split (1304–1307). He was married to the sister of Ban Paul I Šubić of Bribir, and from 1293 he was the Croatian ban's delegate at the Naples Court. Around 1481, after economic problems and the sale of their properties, they disappeared from the Zadar hinterland.

A notable member of the family was Andrija Jamometić, a Dominican priest whose family originated in Nin. He lived in the 15th century and was killed in Basel, in 1484.[1]
