| Abstract | The session discusses the manner in which different social milieus perceived poverty and wealth on the examples of three distinct types of communities: Mediterranean communes (Zadar and Šibenik), continental towns of German type (Zagreb), and different noble communities of the rural area (the counties of Southern Slavonia and the noble community of Turopolje). In all these communities, the poverty and wealth were measured against expectations characteristic for different social layers, and were consequently quite different for aristocracy and lesser nobility, commoners, burgers, and peasants. The extant sources reflect that relativity in a variety of aspects (material culture, status, and political participation, fiscal exemptions, etc.) which shall be presented. |
