Summary/Abstract: The paper takes the descriptions of the urban noble families from the novel Posljednji Stipančići (The Last Stipančićs) by Vjenceslav Novak as a starting point of its historiographical analysis. After a short historical framework is presented, which is supplemented by descriptions given by V. Novak, the paper also briefly looks at the issue of the struggle for the Croatian language, although it deals mostly with the analysis of the historical foundation of the characters and action using exact and precise quotations from actual historical reality. In the end, the Cadastral registers from the State Archives in Zagreb that are also compared with the statements cited in the work are presented.
