Prekodravlje Region in the Middle Ages

Ranko Pavleš ; Koprivnica

Sažetak

This paper covers the medieval part of the history of Prekodravlje, the Croatian territory north of the Drava River opposite the Drava river basin called Podravina region. Today, it is the area of the Municipality of Gola in Koprivnica-Križevci County. In the Middle Ages, the area was divided between the estates of Zakany and Breznica, and that is why this paper tried to present the history of both of these estates with special emphasis on their toponymy and territorial structure. All settlements are listed, most of which no longer exist. All other local names appearing in the documents are also listed and analyzed. Several villages belonged to the Zakany estate, which occupied the western part of Prekodravlje region, but only one village was proved to be located in the Prekodravlje region. The property also had two market places and a castle as the seat of administration. The Breznica/Berzence estate had about twenty villages, two fortresses, Breznica and St. Elizabeth, and a market place. In the part of the property that was located in today's Prekodravlje region, there were five or six villages, as well as the fortress and market place of St. Elizabeth. The paper tried to prove that in the Middle Ages, Prekodravlje region was wider in its western part and extended all the way to the present-day villages of Drnje and Sigetec.
