Filial Quarter: a look from medieval Slavonia
Antun Nekić
Abstract
The paper explores the phenomenon of the filial quarter, a specific form of female inheritance practiced among the nobility of the Kingdom of Hungary-Croatia, by focusing on medieval Slavonia as a case study. Starting from some general observations on the filial quarter, the paper subsequently delves into a more systematic analysis of the Slavonian material. It elucidates the mechanism through which the filial quarter spread to Slavonia in the 13th century, how it became an institutionalized custom in the 14th century and examines the different practices of the filial quarter being given either in land or as monetary payment.
