UGRIC-BOSNIAN RELATIONS AND CONFESSIONAL HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL BOSNIA IN THE WORK BY LAJOS THALLÓCZY

Summary/Abstract: Although relations between Austria and Bosnia as well as confessional history of Bosnian Middle Ages have not been especially thematized in his extensive and valuable work, Thalloczy’s contribution to this problematic is evident. Following the centenarian matrix about the visual relation of Bosnian rulers towards the Holy Austrian Crown Thalloczy has woven into this discourse the thesis about the decisive role of the rulers in political history of the Middle Ages reducing thus the question of overemphasized vassal relation into real frameworks of relations between the so called historical rights and historical realities. His main postulates are contained first in the early phase represented by several works, and then in the later, mature phase, represented by his History of Jajce. On this developmental line one can follow the author’s deepening of the results from accepting earlier conceptions to original insights into the same subject contained in his revolutionary thesis that in the center of Ugric-Bosnian relations and thus also confessional issue which since the emergence of the Bosnian Church suppressed Bosnian rulers and aristocracy there is the position of Bosnian Bishop as the head of Bosnian State Church and potential coronator of Bosnian kings who since middle of the XIII century resided on the territory under the sovereignty of the Holy Crown. On the basis of this rested the patronage right of the Ugric kings over the Bosnian bishopric in Djakovo. This gives the answer to the question about the rights of Ugric kings in Bosnia which established its own alternative, non-canonic bishopric, the Bosnian Church, with its head (pontificate) as the coronator of Bosnian kings. All of this emerged when in late 1416 Bosnian crown was replaced with Pope’s crown and the prelate of the Catholic Church as the coronator of Bosnian kings replaced the pontificate of the Bosnian Church.
