Autor u navedenom članku opisuje znamenitu senjsku uskočku i plemićku obitelj Domazetović, koja u povijesnim dokumentima dolazi u različitim oblicima prezimena: Domazettovich, Domazetouvich, Domazetovich, Tomazetovich i Domazetović. Donosi i fotograije dvaju grbova: obiteljski obojeni grb i kameni grb s njihove obiteljske kuće u Senju. Pripadaju starom bosanskom praplemstvu. Podrijetlom su iz Bosne, a u Senj su se doselili nakon pada Bosne pod Turke Osmanlije 1463. godine. Već su 1665. godine stekli senjsko građanstvo zbog velikog društvenog ugleda u Senju, a Pavao Domazetović koji je sudjelovao u poznatoj pobuni 1721. godine protiv uvođenja monopola soli, odnosno plaćanja solne daće, dobiva i senjski patricijat koji se posebice cijenio u gradu. Isti Pavao Domazetović zbog izuzetnih vojničkih zasluga u borbi s Turcima Osmanlijama dobiva od kralja Karla III. (Karlo VI.), 21. listopada 1724. u Beču austrijsko plemstvo i grb te ubrzo biva promaknut u austrijskog baruna za iste zasluge. U narodnoj pjesmi su opjevani neki članovi ove poznate senjske uskočke obitelji, gdje su prikazani kao hrabri branitelji stoljetnih hrvatskih prostora. Pojedini članovi ove uskočke obitelji istaknuli su se u borbama s Turcima Osmanlijama kao časnici i vojvode senjskih uskoka. Tijekom 17. i 18. st. spominju se kao iskusni senjski trgovci i brodovlasnici. Za vrijeme rata za Poljsko Kraljevstvo njihovo mnogobrojno brodovlje sudjeluje kao dio austro-ugarske mornarice te se ističu u borbama na moru. O velikom ugledu ove senjske obitelji svjedoči i raskošna kuća koju je 1744. godine sagradio Juraj Domazetović te na nju postavio kamenu ploču s isklesanim obiteljskim reljefnim grbom i natpisom na latinskom jeziku. Ova kuća je sačuvana do danas, a tijekom 19. st. bila je središte političkog i društvenog života grada Senja. Ovoj obitelji je pripadao i Fran (Franj) Domazetović, banski savjetnik u Zagrebu koji je umro 1949, a bio je jedan od posljednjih članova ove slavne senjske uskočke i plemićke obitelji.The author of the above article describes the famous Senj Uskok and noble family Domazetović, which in historical documents come in various forms of surnames: Domazettovich, Domazetouvich, Domazetovich, Tomazetovich and Domazetović. The author presents photography of two coats of arms: a family crest and painted stone coat of arms with their family house in Senj. They belong to Bosnian ancient nobility. Originally from Bosnia, they moved to Senj after the fall of Bosnia under the Ottoman Turks in 1463. By 1665 they had gained Senj citizenship due to their social prestige in Senj, and Pavao Domazetović participated in the famous mutiny of 1721. Years against the introduction of the salt monopoly, related to the payment of salt duties was especially appreciated by the patricians of Senj and the town. The same Pavao Domazetović, for his exceptional merit in the military struggle with the Ottoman Turks, received Austrian nobility and coat of arms from King Charles III (Charles VI), on 21st October 1724 in Vienna, and soon after he was promoted to an Austrian Baron for the same merits. In folk songs sung by some members of this famous Senj Uskok family, they were portrayed as brave defenders of ancient Croatian territories. Some members of this Uskok family are pointed out in battles with the Ottoman Turks as well as officers and captains of Senj’s Uskoks. During the 17th and 18th centuries they are mentioned as experienced Senj merchants and boat owners. During the war for the Polish Kingdom their numerous ships participated as part of the Austro-Hungarian navy and excelled in fighting at sea. The great reputation of this Senj family is evident by a magnificent house, which was built in 1744 by Juraj Domazetović and on it he mounted a stone plaque engraved with the family coat of arms relief with an inscription in Latin. This house has been preserved to this day and during the 19th century it was a centre of political and social life of the city of Senj. Also to this family belonged Fran (Franj) Domazetović, adviser to the ban in Zagreb, who died in 1949, and was one of the last members of this famous Senj Uskok and noble family
