Southeastern Europe : 1526-1820

The period covered begins in 1526 with the Battle of Mohács, following which the Ottoman Empire experienced its greatest territorial expansion in Southeastern Europe. The end date 1820 was the year in which the Habsburg monarchy replaced Napoleon’s judicial system with its own in the territories of the region it ruled.

Six areas in particular are dealt with in this chapter: 1) territories within the Holy Roman Empire ; 2) territories within the Venetian Republic ; 3) the Republic of Dubrovnik ; 4) the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen ; 5) territories within the Ottoman Empire ; 6) territories within the Napoleonic Illyrian provinces. A brief outline of the judicial system within the framework of each section will be given, with special emphasis on superior courts, including remarks on legal systems applied in the respective territories.
