Sažetak
The rise of the German family of Alben is closely connected with King Sigismund’s (1387-1437) plans to restore the royal authority in the Kingdom of Hungary-Croatia. Members of the Alben family acquired lucrative ecclesiastical and political offices from the King and became firm pillars of reforms generated by the Royal Court. The career of John of Alben, a Benedictine monk from Hornbach Abbey, stands out as particularly prosperous. He was the abbot of the Cistercian Abbey of Topusko and the Benedictine Abbey of Panonhalma. Then he acquired bishopric posts in Veszprém, Pécs and Zagreb. John was the chancellor of the queen, the archchancellor of the Kingdom, he governed the Secret Royal Chancery and the Holy Roman Empire’s Chancery. This paper analyses the career path of John of Alben, who became one of the most influential prelates of the realm, with respect to the broader political context and the King’s efforts to form a new political and ecclesiastical elite. John of Alben’s career reconstruction additionally reveals the main mechanisms used by King Sigismund in his efforts to run the ecclesiastical affairs of the realm autonomously from the Papal Curia. Special attention is paid to John of Alben’s episcopal pontificate at the Zagreb Bishopric, 1421-1433, and his efforts to protect the diocese and the estates of monastic houses which were threatened by the earliest Ottoman raids.
