If the translation of the ''Defence of Korcula''
from Ottoman attack in 1571 (written by Antun-Antonio Rozanovic) is ''untainted'' we can see that the majority of the defenders of the island were by 1571 of Croatian-Slavic decent. If we use this as a reference then from 1570s onwards the majority of Korcula's population was of Croatian-Slavic decent. | If the translation of the ''Defence of Korcula''
