Husein-kapetan Gradaščević was a Bosniak general who fought against the Ottoman Empire and new reforms implemented by the Sultan Mahmud II which abolished the ayan (landlord) system.
He is often referred to as "Zmaj od Bosne", meaning "the Dragon of Bosnia".
Gradaščević was born in Gradačac in 1802—hence his surname Gradaščević, meaning "of Gradačac" - and grew up surrounded by a political climate of turmoil in the western reaches of the Ottoman Empire. The young Husein developed a reputation for wise rule and tolerance and soon became one of the most popular figures in Bosnia.
