Abstract

Departing from the research of Milan Kruhek, the paper provides new information on the development of the defence system and the military organization of the Ivanić Captaincy in the 16th century. Special emphasis has been placed on the following issues: problems in the construction of the fortresses in Ivanić and Kloštar Ivanić; reconstruction of the quantity of paid army in the Ivanić Captaincy in the 16th and the 17th centuries; supply of Ivanić and the surrounding fortifications with weapons and ammunition; and financial status of Ivanić in the Habsburg construction plans. The article further includes a so far unpublished map of the Slavonian Border, which presents Ivanić as one of the four main pillars of defence in that part of the Croatian–Slavonian Kingdom. Although the map has been kept together with the archival sources of 1587, it might be of later origin.

Keywords
