Seen by the Western Neighbours: Perception of Slavonian Nobility in the Sources from Northern Italy and Southern Hapsburg Lands in the High and Late Middle Ages

In this paper, I wish to address how the consequences of the Krbava battle, and by that I mainly mean the loss of the members of the most important Croatian and Slavonian noble families, were presented to and percepted by the contemporary centers of political power situated in Northern Italy and Southern Hapsburg Lands, that is how was the loss of Croatian and Slavonian noblemen in the clash at Krbava Field seen by their western neighbors. Therefore, by analyzing preserved written sources firstly I will investigate how the consequences of the battle were presented to the contemporary centers of political power. One of the earliest accounts of the Battle of Krbava composed in order to inform a center of political power is a letter written by Antonio Fabregues to the pope Alexander VI on September 13th 1493. It seems that Fabregues was some kind of a papal representative in the coastal city of Senj, whose task was, among other things, to inform the Roman Curia about the local news, especially regarding the Ottomans’ activities on the eastern coast of the Adriatic and in its hinterland
