Sažetak
This poster has aim to explore the presence of the cult of St Ladislas on the territory of today’s Croatia, and its role as a factor of cohesion in the Lands of the Crown of St Stephen. The cult of St Ladislas started to flourish in the late 13th century under the last Arpadian rulers, and it was especially intense at the time of the new Angevin kings in the 14th century. The figure of Ladislas successfully represented the ideal knight, and it was also an important propaganda tool for the legitimacy of the Angevin dynasty, but it also had a role in creating stronger collective identity of the Kingdom. That is especially visible on the map, where we can see that the legend of St Ladislas in wall-painting cycles is mostly present in the outskirts of the region (Slovakia, Transylvania, Slavonia) were collective identity was weaker than in the center. The topic will be mostly presented through the cycle of wall-paintings of the legend of St Ladislas in the church of St Peter in Novo Mesto Zelinsko. In this context the presence of the churches dedicated to St. Ladislas in today Croatia (also of St Stephen the King, and St Emeric), as well as an interesting late medieval appearance of St Ladislas in Dalmatia will be also explored and presented.
