Feudal Nobility Budor from Budrovac in the Period Fifteenth to Eighteenth Century

This study deals with life of lower nobility Budors and their family members, small-holders of Podravina estate Budrovac (near Đurđevac), in the period from 15th to 18th century. As research material for this comprehensive study, the author in great part used the nobility charter (Armales) granted to the Budor family, archived by the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences HAZU, Zagreb. Based on historic data at disposal, the author has thoroughly described the life of Andrija Budor (16th century), Vid Budor (the second half of 16th century), Ivan Budor (turn of 16th to 17th century), while the remaining family members (until their family line finally ended in 18th century) were only partially covered in the study. Beside the Budors, this study deals with the military and political situation of that time (especially the fighting with the Turks), as well as numerous important people and figures of that era (the Zrinski family in particular)
