ModruÅ” izmeÄu kneževa Frankapana, Osmanlija i kraljevskih vlasti, 1458ā1526.
U radu se, temeljem uvida u relevantnu literaturu i izvore, pokuÅ”alo rekonstruirati ulogu i važnost ModruÅ”a u sklopu odnosa najmoÄnije kasnosrednjovjekovne hrvatske velikaÅ”ke obitelji Frankapana, poglavito kneževa Stjepana i sina mu Bernardina, sa srediÅ”njim vlastima u Budimu. ObraÄeno je razdoblje vladavine posljednje trojice ugarskoāhrvatskih kraljeva, MatijaÅ”a Korvina (1458ā1490), Vladislava II. JageloviÄa (1490ā1516) i Ludovika II. JageloviÄa (1516ā1526). Pozornost se posvetila i ulozi Osmanlija na modruÅ”kom podruÄju u promatranom razdoblju.The golden age of ModruÅ” occurred in the late middle ages when the townās role and significance surpassed the local and regional borders. At the same time, the last decades of the Middle Ages also marked the beginning of difficulties and crises which at the end of the period largely reduced the significance the town had had and paved the way for itsmarginalisation. It was exactly inModruÅ” that the Frankopan princes convened in 1449 and divided all their estates among the brothers, resulting in eight territorial branches of the princely family. According to the division, ModruÅ” and Tržan belonged to Prince Stjepan Frankopan. He was in the beginning one of the closest allies of the newly elected king Matthias Corvinus. Prince Stjepan succeeded in obtaining the permission to move the seat of the diocese of Krbava from Udbine to ModruÅ” under the excuse of insecurity due to the Ottoman invasions and looting. The period from 1460 to 1463 witnessed the culmination of power of Prince Stjepan, as well as the power and importance of the very ModruÅ”. The Ottoman invasion of medieval Bosnia in 1463 marked the beginning of growing difficulties and the decline of both ModruÅ” and the princes of ModruÅ”. The pressure by the central regal authority alongside the increasingly devastating Ottoman incursions lead to a situation in which the Frankopans were from the 1480s increasingly reduced to just another family in a long line of aristocratic families who lost their privileged position they had enjoyed. After the death of Matthias Corvinus and Vladislav II JegoloviÄās ascent to power in 1490, the central authorities considerably weakened and the Ottoman incursions and devastation intensified. Prince Bernardin, Stjepanās son, left almost completely destroyed ModruÅ” in 1524 and moved its seat to Ogulin, a town which had shortly before been renovated and enlarged. It was the beginning of the end. Ever since then ModruÅ” has not succeeded in regaining the significance and role it had in the late middle ages
An example of selective memory:the Croatian medieval rulers in the names of the streets and squares of the most important Croatian cities
U ovom radu autor analizira jedan primjer selektivnog pamÄenja, povezan s prevladavajuÄim
nacionalnim ideologijama u Hrvatskoj u 20. stoljeÄu te s kolektivnim nacionalnim
imaginarijem suvremene hrvatske države. Studija je obuhvatila komparativnu
analizu nazivlja ulica i trgova deset prema broju stanovnika najveÄih hrvatskih
gradova. Istražena je prisutnost srednjovjekovnih hrvatskih i ugarsko-hrvatskih vladara
i vladarica u nazivlju ulica i trgova spomenutih gradova, od ViŔeslava, Borne
i Ljudevita Posavskog (prva polovica 9. stoljeÄa) do Ludovika II. JageloviÄa (1516.-
1526.). U obzir je uzeto trenutno stanje, a za analizu su koriŔteni popis stanovniŔtva
RH iz 2001. te planovi hrvatskih gradova, objavljeni na Internetu. Dobiveni rezultati
meÄusobno su usporeÄeni na nekoliko razina: uÄestalost pojavljivanja, geografska
distribucija nazivlja, lokalne specifiÄnosti te usporedba nazivlja s vladarima iz vremena
narodne dinastije s nazivljem s vladarima iz razdoblja Ugarsko-Hrvatskoga
Kraljevstva. Polazna, radna hipoteza istraživanja jest da u nazivlju ulica i trgova najveÄih
hrvatskih gradova uvjerljivo prevladavaju vladari takozvane narodne dinastije,
a da vladara iz vremena zajedniÄke države s Ugarskom u nazivima ulica ima vrlo
malo ili ih gotovo i nema, Å”to je analizom i potvrÄeno. To je posljedica, prema svemu
sudeÄi, sustavnih, viÅ”edesetljetnih politiÄkih i ideologijskih intervencija u javni prostor,
koje po svom predznaku nipoÅ”to nisu bile jednoznaÄne.In this paper the author is analyzing an example of selective memory, closely linked
with the dominant national ideologies of 20th century Croatia, and with the collective
national imagery of the contemporary Croatian state. This case study contains
a comparative analysis of street and square names in ten of the largest Croatian cities.
An investigation was undertaken into the presence of Croatian and Hungarian-
Croatian kings and queens from the first half of the 9th century to the year 1526 in
the names of streets and squares of the above-mentioned localities. The status quo
was taken into account, and as a tool of analysis, the population census of Croatia
from the year 2001 and the maps of Croatian cities were analysed, all sourced from
the internet. The results obtained through such analysis were compared on various
levels: firstly the frequency of names, secondly the geographical distribution of
names, thirdly the local particularities and lastly a comparison between frequency
of names of the early medieval Croatian rulers and the later Hungarian-Croatian
kings and queens. The initial hypothesis was that there is a huge predominance of
streets and squares named after the Croatian early medieval rulers, and that the rulers
from the Hungarian-Croatian kingdom are seldom, if at all, ever mentioned.
The results of our analysis completely confirmed this initial hypothesis. One could
suppose that such a fact could best be explained as a consequence of decades of systematic
political and ideological interventions in the public spaces of Croatian cities
that were, by no means, uniform and of the same ideological and political inspiration
