A riot and civil war
occurred in Turkish
Empire at the
beginning of 20 th
century. Some
aristocrats from
Timočka Krajina tried
to take advantage
of the situation and
raised the uprising.
Having not believed
that it was the right
moment, having no
confidence into the
ones who summoned
them to battle, the
people chose to stay
away. The rebels
were defeated in the
Battle of Temska and
the uprising ceased.
A Turkish chief
rebelled then, certain
duke Hamza, but he
was shot in 1413.
It is assumed that
the famous present
Gamzigrad was named
after that Hamza.
