Sažetak
The purpose of this work is to investigate, systematize and display the heraldic heritage and to discover and interpret the messages brought by coats of arms (whose representative character could be noticed in almost every change in the personal status) and related iconography (about which other, available till now, sources are partly silent) about the members of the Ujlak family, and present them to historiography. Seals (88), arms in stone and ceramic plastic (11) and coins (18) are available for this purpose. These primary sources are created in the family offices or around them and their character is official. The messages of the sources and how they light up specific episodes of the life and political activities of the members of the family are to be explained by heraldic and iconographic analysis, and the content of the textual legends. The changes seen here are: the acquisition of the city of Ilok; Nicholas’ standing with Ladislaus the Posthumous and Queen Elizabeth; and Emperor Frederick III; and ultimately the release of submission to Matthias Corvinus, the submission to the papal supremacy and transformation of Bosnia in the papal fief. Some of reached conclusions are already confirmed by other sources but the remaining, presented here for the first time, the historiography can confirm or deny using other sources. The 16th and 17th century historiographical books are secondary sources available for use in the last part of the paper. With partial exception of the emperors, all persons including Nicholas of Ujlak are represented there exclusively heraldically in accordance with the rule that the coat of arms and its owner are one.
