Source-derived summary

Marko Čarapić (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Чарапић; 1775–1826) was a voivode in the First and Second Serbian Uprising. He was a member of the famed Čarapić family, memorialized in epic folk songs.

In 1826 another rebellion flared up in the Principality of Serbia aimed at Miloš Obrenović who took upon himself too many privileges. That rebellion became known as the Čarapić-Belisavljević Rebellion. Since it was also led by Mihailo (Mija) Belisavljević. Marko Čarapić and his brother Đorđe, the nephews of the hero of the First Serbian Uprising, Vasa Čarapić, were both executed by the Turks after the failed rebellion. Just like his uncle by the same name who was beheaded by the Turks, thus triggering the First Serbian Uprising.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
