Abstract
Croatian historiography has already solved the problem of datation of fall of medieval Croatian fortresses and feuds of Velika (Kraljeva) and Me đ uri ć under the Ottoman rule. It was in 1544. However, the accurate date of resettlement of subordinates (and other accompanied refuges) of these two feuds belonging to Croatian Ban Thomas Nadaždi is still uncertain. The author of this article has already attempted to solve this question in his work Hrvati na posjedima obitelji Nadaždi (Croats on the feuds of Nadaždi family)
published in 1992. In this article author makes further research of that problem by analysing the historical situation in Croatia after the battle of Krbava in 1493 particularly focusing on the analysis of the letter sent in 1538 by Croatian Ban Thomas Nadaždi to baron
Ungnad. In the conclusion to the article author stated that Thomas Nadaždi resettled his subordinates from Velika and Međurić in contemporary Western Slavonia (Republic of Croatia) in the year 1537, while the refuges from the suburbium of Velika were ressetled
in the year 1538. Therefore, there were two migrations. The fi rst one has characteristics of resettlement and the second one of exile.
