Alija Gušanac
Alija Gušanac, known in epic poetry as Gušanac-Alija, was an Ottoman brigand that served the Dahije, the renegade Janissaries that had taken the rule of the Sanjak of Smederevo following a coup. He was from Gusinje, hence his byname. At the start of the Serbian uprising against the Dahije, Gušanac was in Jagodina. He was subsequently appointed commander of Belgrade by the Dahije.
