CULT OF ST. LADISLAUS IN THE LANDS BETWEEN DRAVA AND SAVA

Sa？etak Medieval cults of saints were extensively present throughout the Christian Europe. Among these, the cults of kings-saints are especially interesting and within Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom one of the most venerated was Ladislaus I of Hungary, Catholic saint whose cult started already in the twelfth century. Unfortunately, there is no much evidence about his cult in the lands between rivers Sava and Drava, and one can only make suppositions based upon extant patron saints of churches, chapels, altars and toponyms that are related with this saint. This article reveals twenty of such examples covering regions of the medieval counties of Kri？evci, Vukovo, Vara？din, Baranya, Syrmia, Po？ega and Zagreb. Consequently, authors have tried to determine to what extant St. Ladislaus was venerated in the examined region, especially regarding the results of similar research in the realm of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom
