Sažetak
Based on the published sources and literature, the paper examines the role of the
Bakar and Rijeka captain Hyeronimus Zara, envoy of king Ferdinand I Habsburg, in
the diplomatic mission (1533) to Sultan Suleiman I, in which he partook together with
the Flemish diplomat Cornelius Dupplicius Schepper. The paper further describes the
circumstances and the course of the mission. Since the Croatian historiography lacks
any synthetic description of the life and activities of Hyeronimus Zara, or any adequate assessment of his role in some of the crucial events in the 16th-century history
of Croatia, the insights that the Croatian science, in particular historiography, has on
the subject have been presented and partly critically re-examined. The paper further
offers an overview of historical connections of members of the Zara family with the
Habsburgs. In addition, the activities that Hyeronimus Zara, as Ferdinand’s confidant,
undertook during and after the Battle of Mohács (1526), and in the third decade of the
16th century in the area of the northern Adriatic coast and in the border areas towards
the Ottoman Empire (especially around Klis), are considered.
