Summary/Abstract: The prior of the monastery in Vrana and Croatian Vice-Roy Ivan Paližna (of Paližna) was one of the key protagonists in the stormy political state of affairs in the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom toward the end of the 14th century. However, the reconstruction of his life and work still remains incomplete in a number of details, mainly due to the lack of original data. Paližna’s personality and role have so far not been thoroughly monographically analysed in all aspects of his life, though many researchers have studied his personality, enriching their work with new sources or interpretations of the earlier knowledge. This paper’s primary objectives are the following: to offer a survey on available sources and evaluate the existing Croatian historiographic works tackling Ivan Paližna; to define thematic circles and interpretative ideological signs; and to explore particular debatable moments in Paližna’s biography.
