Sažetak
The market town of Krapina entered the 17th century in uncertain circumstances of legal battle with the seigniory, that was caused by the shift in socioeconomic structures on the broader area. However, that state didn’t prevent further economic development, as can be seen from the positive outcome of the mentioned confrontation, as well as from the demographic progress of the market town throughout the 17th century. Although agriculture was the dominant economic activity, crafts (especially stonemasons) and annual fairs had a distinct economic role. Social structure had also gone through some changes in the early modern period. Forming of the urban elite made urban identities more complex, and traces of the process of social discipline can be seen in the stricter sanctioning of crimes and transgressions of norms and regulations. That way, the Europewide changes, that led to the crisis of towns and caused the redefinition of their economic function and social organisation, are mirrored in these processes. The case of Krapina shows how that reflected in the context of the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia.
