Kukar family

The Kukar family was a Croatian noble family, mentioned in the Pacta conventa as one of the twelve tribes of the Kingdom of Croatia. They are first mentioned in the second half of the 12th century, in the area of Podstrana (near Split), where the so called "Kukari territory" (territorium Cucarorum) was located. They are mentioned also in the Supetar cartulary and it is also mentioned by Thomas the Archdeacon (12001268) in his chronicle Historia Salonitana.

From the 15th century, they are mentioned to have been living in Skradin and its surroundings. The family was last mentioned in 1581.[1]
