Prilog poznavanju položaja djece u srednjovjekovnim gradskim naseljima u međurječju Save i Drave
A contribution to the knowledge about the position of children in medieval urban settlements in the region between the rivers Sava and Drava

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of preserved legal documents and official papers which were drawn up on a daily basis in urban settlements in the region between the Sava and Drava rivers, this article illustrates the position of children in those settlements. It also tries to determine the age limits of childhood, the average number of children in the family, the position of the child in the family, relationships towards orphaned children and ways in which the society protected children. The author tries to compare the data obtained from the urban settlements in the previously mentioned region with the situation outside the town area and thus compile them with the data obtained from other Slavonian towns similar to Hungarian towns.
