Abstract
The great defeat of Croatian army against ottoman troops in the battle of Krbava field (9th September 1493) is one of the most important episode in long–lasting defensive war against Ottoman Empire. Although, the causes and the consequences, and the very duration of the battle, are already elaborated in older and newer Croatian historiography, the role and actions of the duke Bernardin Frankapan in the events before battle and in the battle are still not illuminated and dismissed. Analyzing the written sources and archeological artifacts, author describes events that are preceded Bernardin’s evacuation from the battle. He is, also, trying to figure out the motives and causes of such actions. Further more, by detailing analysis of written sources about events before battle of Krbava field, author clarifies relationships between banus Derenčin and ducal family of Frankapan.
