The Adaptable Religious Politics on the Zrinski Estates during the Reformation

It is still largely unknown how the conversion of Croatian-Slavonian magnates to Protestantism affected Catholic religious orders, churches and priests on their lands. Focusing on the Zrinski family, as one of the most powerful magnates in the Hungarian-Croatian kingdom, this paper addressed several questions. How did Protestant magnates treat sacral buildings and building projects on their diverse territories? To what extent did they intervene in the lives and customs of Catholic priests and friars in various estate groups that stretched from western Hungary to the Adriatic? Did the Zrinskis have unique strategies for all their estates or did they adapt their religious policies from one estate to another, depending on laws, political circumstances and the amount of their presence in certain regions?
