Martinussio
noble family of the Republic of Ragusa
The House of Martinussio (also Martinuscio, Martinusso, Martinus; Croatian: Martinušić) were a noble family of the Republic of Ragusa.
History
The family descended from comes Gervasius (fl. 1186–90) and his son Martinussius (fl. 1234–43). In the beginning of the 15th century Ragusan nobility were present in Novo Brdo as merchants or mining lords; Martinussio were also present. The family was extinct by 1595. They were not related to the Martini in Spalato, Martinuscio in Zara, or Martinussio in Cattaro.

Why this record matters
“Martinussio” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Martinussio, noble and family provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q23586177. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1186, 1234, 1595 and 1985.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
