Sažetak
Ban Nikola Zrinski, also known as ban Zrinović or ban Zrinjanin, is a common character in traditional Croatian oral poetry and popular historic songs. The paper analyses stylistic patterns and narrative forms typical for different types of songs about this hero from different historical periods. Oral songs about this popular hero were recorded and collected from the second part of the 16th century until the early 20th century, simultaneously with the literary texts of educated authors. Examples of recorded oral songs about Ban Zrinović were metrically composed in different types of traditional verses such as dodecasyllable verse, long bugarštica verses of mostly fifteen and sixteen syllables with a caesura after the seventh and eighth syllable, octosyllable verse and from the 19th century, the most common was decasyllable verse. The popular historic song by Andrija Kačić Miošić entitled Song About Ban Zrinović and Emperor Suleman III describes the Siege of Szigetvár and connects historically founded facts and traditional decasyllabic stylisation. Songs featuring this traditional hero can cultivate historical themes and motifs, as well as scenes from everyday life of traditional communities, love themes and ceremonial situations. Folk singers also sang numerous stories about this beloved hero presenting his everyday life in ballads, romances, and lyrical songs.
