Abstract
Still today, historiography questions whether the purpose of oaths of fealty (fidelitas), dedicated to the Venetian Republic by Istrian towns from 12th Century, was to conclude friendships between the equal communities or was just a form of alliances against common enemies, or were even the subordination of Istrian towns? Insofar as it was actually a matter of concluding alliances even after the feuds, later vents clearly testify in support of the fact that those oaths of fealtywere the first step towards the later Venetian subordination of Istrian towns, the basis of the process which ended only in 1420. This paper argues that the above events should be understood and interpreted in accordance with then prevailing system of conflict resolution and within the framework of the ritual: homage, fealty, peace (homagium, fidelitas, pax).
