Ownership Relations Between Paulines of Križevci and the Local Community on the Example of Lemeš and Erdovec Estates
Dejan Pernjak
Abstract
The Paulines are a Catholic monastic order founded at the beginning of the 13th century in south Hungary. They arrived at the Croatian territory around 1244, at the time of the founding of two monasteries, one in Dubica and the other in Remete near Zagreb, founded in 1240 or 1244. They came in Križevci at the time of the so-called Pauline monastic renewal, which took place during the 17th century. At the instigation of Ivan Zakmardi Dijankovečki, a Pauline monastery was founded in Križevci in 1665. However, the Paulines officially arrived in Križevci in April 1667, following the resolution of their dispute with the Franciscans. The Paulines increased their assets through donations, loans, and various legacies. In such a manner, they also acquired estates in the area of Lemeš and Erdovec. By focusing on those two estates, this article gives an overview of the proprietary relations between the Križevci’s Paulines and the local nobility, as well as between the Križevci’s Paulines and the citizens. The Paulines acquired their estates as gifts, loans, and by trade or substitution. They came into the possession of Lemeš as early as 1667, when the first dispute they had over a disturbance of their property was recorded, while the oldest document in the Pauline archives concerning Erdovec dates back to 1641.
