Summary/Abstract: The governing style of Ban Pavao Rauch was subject to much sharp criticism, not only among the opposition-oriented public in Civil Croatia but also from the respected British publicist and journalist Robert W. Seton-Watson (Scotus Viator). In the latter’s opinion Rauch’s reign as Croatia’s ban was unconstitutional and served the complete subjugation of Civil Croatia to Hungarian interests. The Seton-Watson’s writings prompted a response from Isidor Kršnjavi, a Frankist-Rightist who formulated well-reasoned refutations of the Briton’s negative characterizations of political relations in the Croatia of the time.
