Career
Prior to becoming the ban, Derenčin was the military captain of Senj, and the ban of Jajce. Derencsényi and John Both were named the Ban of Croatia and Dalmatia and Ban of Slavonia in 1493. In the Battle of Krbava field, the Croats under Derenčin suffered a devastating loss, and Derenčin himself was taken captive and killed.
Derencsényi married Orsolya Zápolya, sister of Stephen Zápolya, the Palatine of Hungary.
They had two sons and, probably, a daughter.
