Die Teilungen der Murinsel-Herrschaft der Familie Zrínyi im 17. Jahrhundert

The present paper is a contribution to the research of the Muraköz/Međimurje (also known as Csáktornya/Čakovec) domain of the Zrínyis’ that took up almost the entire territory of the Drava-Mura-triangle in the early modern times. The frontier domain acquired in 1546 was the „jewel” of the Hungarian-Croatian aristocratic family’s cross border stock of pos-sessions, making up about nearly half of its value. The study attempts to sketch the eventful history of possession of the domain until 1691, emphasizing its obvious similarities to the Zrínyis’ Slavonian estates lying on the Kulpa/Kupa river.
