| Title | Between the Cross and the Sword: Frankapan Patronage over the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit |
| Summary | The Order of the Saint Paul the First Hermit was one of the most popular monastic orders in the kingdom of Hungary-Croatia in fourteenth and fifteenth century. In medieval Croatia, the Paulines established monasteries at Gvozd (St. Nicholas), Brinje (Holy Virgin Mary), Senj (Holy Savior and St. Helen), Crikvenica (Holy Virgin Mary), Novi (Holy Virgin Mary), and several others. This thesis focused on the relations between the Paulines and the Frankapan family, one of the most significant aristocratic families in medieval Croatia. Even though well known, this connection has never been fully examined in the previous historiography. By analyzing charters concerning these Pauline monasteries, this thesis discusses the nature of the relations between the Paulines and the Frankapans, possible emulation of the royal patronage of the Paulines, monastery site selection, the role and influence of the Frankapan family in the Pauline shift towards the mendicants, the main aspects of the Pauline economy and changes that occurred in it over the time. It includes comparisons with the Pauline monasteries in medieval Slavonia and Hungary. Lastly, the appendix lists and gives general information about charters related to the monasteries studied. |
