Medule, Nada Klaic, as with most historians, didn't prove anything. Her supposition is that Pacta Conventa was s/t invented in the Hungarian-Croat political duelling of the 19th century. The overwhelming majority of Croat historians do not accept this & generally accept some sort of arrangement occurred b/w the Hungarian monarch & the Croat nobles.

By putting in the minority view of Nada Klaic, in a general article like this one, you are giving her view undue weight. I believe the views of Nada Klaic are already covered in the detail inthe Pacta Conventa article, thus it is not required in this article which only makes a passing reference to it. ] 05:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


The map in the info box. Where are the sources that confirm the large area? It conflicts with Serbian Rasca that i erlaps the same area at the same time. I am not that familiar with these maps but I don’t recall the kingdom of Croatia reaching that far East or South. ] (]) 23:46, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
It is not minority view. It is view of Hungarians and also some Croatian historians like I. Goldstein too. --] 09:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


:I agree with the remark made by the @]. Modern historians such as Neven Budak disagree with the notion that Croatia in this period reached Drava river. Among the maps made by Luigimini, there is one showing Croatia during reign of king Stjepan Držislav. Unfortunately even that map isn't done right, but among the sources quoted for making it, there is one which shows Croatia right. It is this one:
:Yes it is. Most Croatian historian including Croatian contemporary history considers it a valid treaty. There are also certain Hungarian historians who do dispute the validity of it, but they are just like those in Croatia, a minority. All Croatian and non-Croatian historians agree that 'Pacta Conventa' was most certainly real and valid. In other words nothing was '''proven''' as you claim. ] 18:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

::Nada Klaic, although interesting for reading and quite informing is a ''terrible'' '''historian''' and never should her works be taken as more reliable than, say, ]. --] 22:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
::I am making a bold revert because there do exist many reliable historiographical sources which show such boundaries. The issue at hand is citing reliable sources first and foremost. Replacement wasn't appropriate either and the counties map isn't done right as well. The issue is far more complex because there's no accurate map neither exist a consensus in the historiography. Modern viewpoints should be taken with caution because are part of a broader trend, and do not necessarily represent traditional or more accurate viewpoint.--] (]) 20:22, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Ivo Goldstein and Nada Klaic are most prominent medivialist in Croatia. Also most prominent Hungarians took Klaic view. Pacta Conventa is taken seriously only because of Croatian POV of Croatian nationalistic historians. --] 17:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I know that radio shows can't really be quoted on Misplaced Pages, but I will write it here anyway for the sake of the discussion because I consider ] authority on the matter. Anyway, in radio show Povijest četvrtkom, episode about medieval Slavonia, he said that it could be considered that: "the reign of Croatian kings reached as far as Sisak" in the time of ]. Which is also the period of king Tomislav. Other than that, he said there are very few sources about lands that would became Slavonia.

:::From other that I know, that lands between Sava and Drava river modern historiography considers some kind of wide borderland area between Croatia and Hungary. Even Hrvatska enciklopedija (article about Gvozd mountain) says that Gvozd mountain was considered a border between medieval Croatia and Slavonia. In my opinion, the most sense makes to consider the territory of medieval Croatian counties recorded by Constantine Porphyrogenitus as the actual territory of medieval Croatia. ] (]) 22:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
:How can they be most prominent when Nada practically claims that the border of Croatia '''never''' surpassed the river of Una and modern Croatian historiography tells '''''everything contrary to Nada Klaic'''''? --] 15:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Modern Croatian historiography is builduing on national myths. You have Nada Klaic, Goldstein and also some others in Croatia that tell us that croatian borders at that time are just myths. --] 09:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Pacta conventa is invention and big forgery done much later. Nada Klaic has proved that. Hungarian history also has same view on that. --] 09:57, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

:Pacta conventa is forgery but this is not changing historical facts which is that there have been agreement between Hungarian king and Croatian nobles. Evidence of that is fact that Croatia was never been assimilated into Hungary but it has been associate kingdom administered by a ban. You can say 2 kingdoms but 1 king.
Examples for that:
*In 1526 Hungary (or at least greatest part) has elected John Zápolya for king.Croatia on other hand has on 1 january 1527 elected Ferdinand.
*Other evidence os that Croatia has accepted Pragmatic Sanction of 1713 independent (before) of Hungary.
*In time of Austro-Hungary death of 1918 Hungary has accepted independence of Croatia (and entry to future Yugoslavia) because Croatia is not part of Hungary but state in union with Hungary which is having right too choose own future. For example independence of Slovakia or Transylvania has not been accepted.

For last argument I will use term Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen.
This land are:
*Kingdom of Hungary
*Kingdom of Croatia
*Principality of Transylvania.

Question for the end. Can somebody defeat all my arguments that kingdom of Croatia has been in union with Hungary (2 states 1 king) ? --] 18:36, 28 April 2007 (CET)

Sources on Medieval Croatia

Early medieval Croatian history fits the concluding line to the old jingle: the more you study the less you know. When I was and undergraduate studying Balkan history I thought I knew quite a bit about Croatia; but as I study more about Croatia, one by one "facts" that I knew before turn out to be dubious, based on questionable sources or no sources at all. Most of the existing literature in western languages on medieval Croatia is extremely poor; and frequently it is marred by nationalistic bias.

Much of the information about medieval Croatian history comes from later (seveneenth- and eigteenth-century) narrative histories. These were written by enthusiastic people but ciontain a mixture of fact and legend; and since many of the documents they based their works on are now lost, it is extremely difficult to judge wheter their information came from reliable source or not.

* The Realm of St Stephen: A History of Medieval Hungary, 895-1526 by Pál Engel - 2005 I.B.Tauris edition, Translated by Tamas Palosfalvi

Pages 33-34

One of Ladislaus's most significant achievements was the occupation of Hungary's southern neighbour, Croatia. ... The small kngdom, born in the tenth century, streched from the Kapela mountains to the Adriatic sea, its center being Biograd, located on the coast.

...
King Demetrius Zvonimir, who, not being a member of the ruling dynasty, obtained his throne throug election, asked Pope Gregory VII fo a crown in 1075, and, in return, declared his kingdom as a papal fief. After his death, Ladislaus laid claim on his realm by the right of his sister, Zvonimir's widow, and had no difficulty in taking possession of Croatia in 1091. He bestowed the new kingdom, together with royal title, on his nephew, Almos, son of Geza I ...

'''I further entertained myself reading yet another great discoveries of contemporary Croatian historians (soc.culture.yugoslavia) ....'''

The exclusive revelation is the result of "scientific" research by Croatian historian Dragutin Pavlicevic, and found its place in history books. The Split newspaper "Feral Tribune" reveals that Pavlicevic authored a chapter entitled "Croatian Indians", included in the second grade history textbook, shedding new light on the history of native Americans and their ties with Croats, "one of the oldest nations in Europe". He affirms that in North Carolina "a tribe has been living for more than 4 centuries differing in the color of skin, hair and facial features from other tribes". According to the same historian this is not surprising because the members of these tribe "have the noble blood of ancient Croats from Dubrovnik in their veins". Mr. Pavlicevic also speaks about the Mateo Indians, named after their ancestor Mateo - a Croat named Mate. "In his work, Dragutin Pavlicevic stresses that he estimates that presently there are more than 2 million Croatian descendants throughout the United States", states the Split newspaper.

Croats Sailed To New World Before Columbus And Vikings

Andrija Zeljko Lovric bases his theory on recent archeological finds of Islamic coins and Glagolitic writings in Paraguay

A theory that Croatian sailors, in the service of the Moorish caliphs, probably reached the coasts of the Americas not only before Columbus, but also before the Vikings themselves, may be corroborated by exceptional findings. One of the chief adherents of this theory is Andrija Zeljko Lovric. He presented his paper on the latest finds of Islamic coins and Glagolitic writing in Paraquay on the second day of the symposium called The Islamic World in the Twentieth Century, held in the Zagreb Islamic Center, in Croatia. The paper speaks of 61 plates with inscriptions written in the Glagolitic alphabet which have been found during the past decade on the cliffs of the Amambay massif in Paraguay, dating back to pre-Columbine times, from the seventh to fourteenth century. Previous explorers did not understand the script and believed it to be Viking runes.

Lovric lists numerous data contributing to the theory that the traces lead to Croatian sailors. First of all, among all Slav peoples that used the Glagolitic alphabet, only the Croats were renowned as sailors and, technically speaking, were the only ones who could have reached America. In addition, the Glagolitic script was used the longest by Croats. Second, American anthropologists believe the writers of these plates to have participated in the construction of the first early American town of Taiwanaku, where the statues of Guarani rulers bearing Croatian coats of arms on their chests were found.

== Dmitar Zvonimir part of article ==

Hungarian kings were crowned separatley as kings of Croatia till reign of Bela IV (1235). The kingdom was overrun by Mongols, and centrlisation was required due to obvious vulnerability of Hungarian-Croatian kingdom. Since that, there were no more separate crownings.

This cathegory covers the quoted bibliography above. Their champion is Ivan Kukuljevic Sakcinski - who claims that the Roman emperors Iustinian and Diocletian were Slavs - respectively a Macedonian and a Croat and Mehmet Pasha Sokollu was a Croat (actually a Serb) and his brother was named the head of Bulgarian (actually the Serbian) Orthodox Church!

Map

The map in the info box. Where are the sources that confirm the large area? It conflicts with Serbian Rasca that i erlaps the same area at the same time. I am not that familiar with these maps but I don’t recall the kingdom of Croatia reaching that far East or South. OyMosby (talk) 23:46, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

I agree with the remark made by the @OyMosby. Modern historians such as Neven Budak disagree with the notion that Croatia in this period reached Drava river. Among the maps made by Luigimini, there is one showing Croatia during reign of king Stjepan Držislav. Unfortunately even that map isn't done right, but among the sources quoted for making it, there is one which shows Croatia right. It is this one:

Territory of Croatia is marked as Hrvatska and it roughly follows medieval Croatian counties. A map similar to that is also displayed in Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments in Split. I will therefore remove all dubious maps from this article, until we reach a consensus on what to do. Franjo Tahy (talk) 11:55, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
I am making a bold revert because there do exist many reliable historiographical sources which show such boundaries. The issue at hand is citing reliable sources first and foremost. Replacement wasn't appropriate either and the counties map isn't done right as well. The issue is far more complex because there's no accurate map neither exist a consensus in the historiography. Modern viewpoints should be taken with caution because are part of a broader trend, and do not necessarily represent traditional or more accurate viewpoint.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 20:22, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
For example, Adriatic 1089.svg (Dugački, Vlatka; Regan, Krešimir: Hrvatski povijesni atlas (Historical atlas of Croatia). Zagreb: Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography, 2018. ISBN 9789532680454, pp. 120-121).--Miki Filigranski (talk) 20:28, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
I know that radio shows can't really be quoted on Misplaced Pages, but I will write it here anyway for the sake of the discussion because I consider Neven Budak authority on the matter. Anyway, in radio show Povijest četvrtkom, episode about medieval Slavonia, he said that it could be considered that: "the reign of Croatian kings reached as far as Sisak" in the time of Councils of Split. Which is also the period of king Tomislav. Other than that, he said there are very few sources about lands that would became Slavonia.
From other that I know, that lands between Sava and Drava river modern historiography considers some kind of wide borderland area between Croatia and Hungary. Even Hrvatska enciklopedija (article about Gvozd mountain) says that Gvozd mountain was considered a border between medieval Croatia and Slavonia. In my opinion, the most sense makes to consider the territory of medieval Croatian counties recorded by Constantine Porphyrogenitus as the actual territory of medieval Croatia.
