Sažetak
The place of Ban Jelačić in oral tradition is analysed on the basis of oral legends. One starts out from the assumption that there exist in their presentation cliched notions about the valour of heroes, the magnanimity or evil of rulers, and of their generosity and wisdom. Such narrative models are transmitted and adapted to the most diverse historical characters and historical eras, whether the actual biographies of such historical personages are consistent, or not, with the cliches. The selected examples show how historical works and the biographies of historical persons, for example, Ban Josip Jelačić can become the foundation for the creation of national myths.
