Sažetak
In his 2002 study on dynastic cults in medieval Central Europe, Gábor Klaniczay advocated the use of medieval political theory as a valuable new tool for studying this subject. While building on this proposal and keeping in mind the changing nature of kingship during 14th century, this paper will deal with the few snippets of the Chronicon Pictum that mention Zvonimir, the king of Croatia and Dalmatia. By analysing the connection between 14th century political and social relations and the saintly image of King Zvonimir, this paper will examine how the latter fit into the Angevin dynastic propaganda. Although this analysis will primarily consider the 14th century interpretation and knowledge of what was then already the dim and distant past, it will perhaps offer a path towards a deeper understanding of Zvonimir’s reign.
