Sažetak
Day 17 th October 1154 is one of the foremost dates in the long history of Church in Zadar. Namely, on this day pope Anastasius IV (1153-1154) proclaimed Zadar to become archbishopric and metropolitan see. The new archbishop Lampredius (cc. 1141-1178) gained, thus, four bishoprics: Krk, Rab, Osor and Hvar. Pope Hadrian IV (1154-1159), as a political ally of the Venetian dodge, subordinated the new archbishopric to the patriarch in Grado. This decision of pope was in accordance with Venetian political goals because this ecclesiastical subordination allowed stronger political relation between Venice and eastern Adriatic coast. At the same time, foundation of the new metropolitan see on the Dalmatian coast was a kind of punishment to the Hungarian-Croatian kings, who had alliance with the Sicilian kingdom. Therefore, the foundation of archbishopric of Zadar was not inspired only with the pastoral care but it was carefully planed political move of the Holy See. On the other hand, archbishop Lampredius and community of Zadar were not satisfied with pope’s decision of Zadar’s subordination and they tried to avoid it, though they did not manage in their attempts. Thus, Lampredius was forced to swear a solemn oath to patriarch of Grado. However, in the future Lampredius tried in every way to escape from the embrace of Venice and patriarch of Grado. But, alas, all these attempt were in vain since pope had to keep alliance with Venice in his struggle with the emperor Friedrich i Barbarossa. At the end of this study author delivers a list of archbishops of Zadar. The list contains names of 62 archbishops, from the time of Lampredius up to present days.
