Abstract
At the beginning of the 16th century, the Croatian noble family, the Frankapans, found itself, like the entire Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom, facing increasingly intense Ottoman invasions. In an effort to protect their possessions, the Frankapans could not count on the help of Hungarian-Croatian kings, whose power
was weakening, but had to rely on their own strength and the help they could find
in foreign rulers. Bernardin and Krsto Frankapan established strong ties with the
Habsburgs in the early 16th century, in which they saw help in defending against
the Ottomans. Frankapan-Habsburg relations would play a very important role in
later political circumstances in the first half of the 16th century.
