Abstract
The paper features transcripts of the October-November 1556 Military Frontier (Vojna krajina) payrolls, a table systematising the data found therein, and a brief introductory study. The study provides information on “Bulwark of Europe” and the documents analysed, and a comprehensive list of works dealing with the inception of the Military Frontier. It also briefly examines the power structures, ethnic make-up and the possibility of upward social mobility on the Military Frontier. Fortresses extant in 1556 are also listed.
