Sažetak
In everyday life, the noblemen of the county used various legal institutions for their agenda. Various disputes which were recorded testify that nobles used different legal mechanisms that were at their disposal. Wide spectrum of potential court instances is depicted in the extant material, from the county courts composed of the count and noble judges (iudices nobilium), octaval courts of the ban of Slavonia and those of ecclesiastical institutions to the higher instances of the royal court in Buda presided by the judge royal or the king himself. The ability to use each of these levels was connected with the social rank of nobles, the current situation and the type of dispute. The paper shall, by using quantitative and statistical methods, discuss the coexistence of different laws, legal procedures and judicial practices in a small relatively coherent area that may offer a paradigm for other peripheral areas of kingdoms of late medieval Europe.
