Abstract
The authors discuss the political and historical situation in medieval Slavonia in the first half of the 13th century. Tatar invasion stopped two important political processes that might have changed the history of medieval Slavonia and the whole of Croatia. The main role was performed by Duke Koloman and Stjepan II, bishop of Zagreb. They planned to move the seat of the archbishopric from Split to Zagreb, and to make Čazma the political, religious and cultural center of Northern Croatia. The authors offer new information and interpretation about the role of art in that process.
