Life
Ljubibratić came from Trebinje, from a long line of Serbian nobility, at the time part of the Ottoman Empire (modern Bosnia and Herzegovina). His clan, the Ljubibratići, claimed descent from the medieval Ljubibratić noble family.
In 1730, at the age of 14, he entered as a cadet the regiment of Grenzers, an elite regiment of Hussars. In 1753, he reached the rank of Oberstlieutenant. In 1758, he was an Oberst, in charge of the 8th regiment of Grenz, with several military campaign successes under his belt. He had already received the title of Freiherrnstand-Baron in 1760. In 1762, he was awarded the Maria-Theresa order. In 1770, he was promoted to general-major and finally, in 1773, to Feldmarschall-Lieutenant (field marshal-lieutenant). He died in Vienna.[1]
