    Ludwig Albrecht Gebhardt, 1805




    Translation from the page above;

    He determined the borders of this free state, confirmed the Ragusa privlieges and freedoms,
    sought the treasures of the citizents. He brought the means through which they obtained this treasures,
    namely the action through which he gave them security, giving them them the towers and walls that he already
    possesed.

    The Ragusans wanted to express their gratitude
    so they wanted to build his statues in public place, so that everyone can
    see it. Some of their principals (headmasters) believed that more pictures would leave more impression on
    contemporaries and their offsprings, so they did not just put his picturein their Assemblyhouse but many more pictures,
    which depicted his victories over Bulgarians, Greeks, Turks, Macedonians, Latins, Slavs, Bosnians and Hungarians,
    victories that he gained over them. Than they created a secret deal between them and the Venetian free states, and won
    the Venetian confidence, so that the venetians have put him in the golden book of the nobles and help against the
    Hungarians kings ...
