Sažetak
The paper aims to draw a more precise (or at least more precise) picture about the Croatian campaign of King (St) Ladislas I of Hungary and the establishment of the dioecese of Zagreb. After examinig relevant sources, the author cames to the conclusion that most of the territory situated between the river Drava and the Gvozd mountain could belong, at least loosely, to the Kingdom of Hungary even before the Hungarian conquest of the Kingdom of Croatia. He sets the date of the foundation of the dioecese of Zagreb to 1089/1090, and thinks that the newly established bishopric had to help in some way the preparations for the conquest of Croatia. There are no trustworthy clues or data that could prove that St Ladislas really acted in order to support the widowed queen Helena or to restore the inner peace and order in the country at the request of Croatian noblemen — this is to say, the author rejects on the basis of critical arguments the testimony of Thomas Spalatensis and of the Chronica picta Vindobonensis. Contemporary charters from Dalmatian cities seem not to support the hypothesis that the Kingdom of Croatia was really a vassal of the Holy See in the years around 1089/1090, so the author does not think that the conquest could cause any serious troubles in the relations between the Hungarian royal court and the Papacy. The author concludes that the most probable purpose of the campaign of 1091 was simply wish for territorial gains.
