Hungary, Slavonia and Croatia after the Battle of MohacsAccording to the Laws of the 16th - 17th Centuries

The purpose of the study is to reveal the nature of the relationship between Hungary andSlavonia-Croatia basing on the resolutions of the Hungarian assemblies and Croatian-Slavonian sabor of the 16th - 17th centuries. The main question is: who did they obey- Vienna or Hungary? How did their estates perceive themselves in the new monarchy:as a part of the Kingdom of Hungary or not? How did Hungarian rulers understandCroatia's belonging? Depending on the changes in Croatia and Slavonia, fluctuations inthe title of their rulers from the Habsburg dynasty are traced, as well as the name andstatus of these state entities, which gradually merged into one political whole. Ananalysis of the close cooperation between Croatian-Slavonian and Hungarian stateinstitutions and estate assemblies under the new conditions shows the continuity ofinstitutional subordination of the former to the latter, which had developed back in thepre-Moh & aacute;cs period, i.e. the times of interstate union of 1102, known as the "pactaconventa". Based on this reconstruction, the author verifies the conclusions made in theprevious works.
