The Frankapan Family and the Political Iconography of Early Modern and Modern Croatia

A leading Croatian aristocratic family, the Frankapans, shaped Croatian history and culture in the late medieval and early modern period. Its various members – mighty magnates and landowners – were founders of the monasteries, new cities, bishoprics, and patrons of religion, art and print, but the family was nevertheless (at least according to modern political iconography) remembered only for the severe punishment of the young Count Fran II Krsto Frankapan (1671) for an anti-Habsburg conspiracy. Together with his sister Katarina and her husband, Count Petar IV Zrinski, Fran II Krsto became a national martyr for Croatian political iconography and the other facets of Frankapan family identity were disregarded so as to form a more direct, robust national symbol of the Croatian history of martyrdom.
