Sažetak
How does one manages to integrate into a new society that (s)he finds herself/himself into and does the “successfulness” of that process impacts on the strength of that society? That is, if being “unsuccessful”, does it leaves an open rupture in that new society? Our present situation, not just European but global, revolves around these issues, and the theme of the conference, I believe, was a reflection of these concerns. The above questions approach the problem from the perspective of communities, and I want to use the same approach applying it to medieval Slavonia and discuss the following: is it possible to perceive differences in the processes and modes of integration in the two counties composing Slavonia, Zagreb and Križevci, differences which had important consequences for the possibility and power of collective action of noble communities of these two counties. Based on analyses of noble families coming to, or receiving estates in Slavonia I will argue that the nobility from the county of Križevci in a certain sense monopolized the position of the representatives of Slavonian identity and I will argue that that was to a large degree a reflection of the differences in the mode of integration.
