Summary/Abstract: As an important center of northwestern Croatia, the town of Varaždin has had a characteristic style of urban life ever since the Middle Ages. The life of Varaždin was especially interesting and thriving in the 15th and the 16th centuries. Rudolf Strohal described that period in his contribution to Zbornik: »The Županija of Varaždin from 1550 to 1660« (vol. 27, no. 2, 1932). He accounted for the life of all social strata: serfs, church and secular nobility, citizens (purgari), soldiers and prisoners. He also described the surrounding villages, social relations, some customs associated with property relations, and the feudal social/economic circumstance in general.
