Abstract
Village Voganj was a part of so-called Mitrovacki, later Rumski landed estate, on which in 1751 the Pejacevic family got the document attesting to the giving of a present. The landed estate (Rumski) was, like every other in Srem and Slavonia, under the Slavonic Feudal Law introduced by Maria Theresa in 1756. This Feudal Law arranged in details relations between peasants and landowners. Introducing the Feudal Law the land was measured, divided into parcels and it determined peasants' obligations to landowners. According to this, village Voganj, as a part of the Rumski landed estate, was under the Slavonic Feudal Law and the obligations of peasants to landowners (Pejačević family) were converted according to the Law. Concerning the real - estate taxes, which were paid according to the parcels, Voganj were paying, in the period from 1758 to 1818, the sum of 39 3/4 of parcels- Most of the time during this period of 60 years, the sum was over 437 forint, more exactly 11 forint per parcel. After 1818 parcels varied between 40 and 50. Apart from basic real - estate taxes, the village rented the part of barren area Mandjelos and periodically landowners' water mills in the village and in the surrounding area. According to the registry, it is possibly to see the development of crafts in the village, and the first craftsman appeared in the second part of the 18 century. This significant original list of the feudal taxes of village Voganj is in the Archive of Srem in Sremska Mitrovica.
