Mladen Ančić ; Odjel za povijest Sveučilišta u Zadru, Zadar, Hrvatska

Sažetak

Analyzing the elements of the social structure of Croatian Kingdom in the Early and High Middle Ages, the author pays particular attention to the social role, status and obligations of the class of professional warriors (“violence specialists”) mentioned in sources as gradu kmeti (in Croatian) or iobagiones castri (in Latin). Underpinning the discussion is an analysis of relevant provisions of the Vinodol Codex, a source that best illustrates the self-perception of the members of that social class. This paper also analyzes the elements of the social knowledge as reflected in the discourse of various written sources, particularly the ones from the 13th century. It also tries to define the position of the members of this class by using the terms employed by modern social sciences.
