Likovi hrvatskog podrijetla u crkvenoj povijesti Slovačke
Personages of Croatian descent in Slovakia's ecclesiastical history

Summary/Abstract: Many Croats had settled in the territory of today's Slovakia before and after the Turkish expansion into the Balkans. Many of them became nobility, or had arrived as such. Some even made a name for themselves in Slovakia's statemanship, in the domains of culture and science as well as the Kingdom's self-government. Many of their posterity became important people in the ecclesiastical sphere, namely among them there were bishops, provosts and monks. This paper sets out to outline a concise history of some such prominent families (the Bartaković, Bujanović; Dežöfi, Horvat-Stančić, Horvat-Paločai, Jakušić, Kačić Sečeni, Keglević, Paršić families) and the lives of individuals (Paulist and bishop Augustin Benkoviæ, Franciscan Nikola Croata, Cardinal Leopold Kolonić, several Jesuits), who lived and were active in the period between the 16th and 18th century.
