Medieval topography of Cirkvena, Žabno and their surroundings

RANKO PAVLEŠ

Abstract

The paper focuses on mediaeval topography of Cirkvena and Žabno vicinities southward from Križevci. The opening part gives descriptions of estate boundaries, first dating from 1201, about the boundary between the Dubrava Province of Zagreb bishop which later became the boundary between Kalnik district and the archdeaconship. This is followed by three boundary descriptions from 1326, 1377 and 1430 with a series of topographic data.
The second part describes the settlements and estates ranked according to their importance: Cirkvena, Žabnica and Haganj used to be parishes, whereas aristocratic citadels were erected in Cirkvena, Žabnica, Buščinec and Praščevec. The settlement-estate Babljak had a fairholding privilege. Other habitations as Hrsovo, Markovec, Ladinec, Kenđelovec, Vitkovec, Čeberkovec, Husarec, Štefanovec and Kopino were of a lesser importance. The paper closes with stating a few estates rarely mentioned in documents.
