Sažetak
Krizevci County during 17th century was mostly related to colonization and settlement of former serfs, as landlords were forced to give them a more favorable status, since they could easy flee to a neighboring Military Frontier of Slavonnia (Varazdin Generalate), thus becoming Military Frontiersmen. By the end of 17th century, the status of free tenants (freemen) had some elements of publiclegal character. In times of war, freemen of a certain landlord formed a military unit of the estate (banderium dominale), and the same applied to free tenants of Djelekovec. At times of war, the Croatian parliament would decree that estates with freemen would provide a certain number of soldiers from the freemen ranks. These freemen would go to war on their landlord’s side as his army unit and commanded by a military commander designated by his landlord. During 18th century, free tenants were faced with further shrinking of their rights and decrease of their original liberties. The paper also deals with people and their environmental relationship in the free tenants’ village of Djelekovec.
