Zusammenfassung: | This paper sets out to illustrate the historical development of the medieval Gora,
which existed in what is known today as the village of Gorjani. We analyzed all
material remnants of that medieval town, as well as all the historical resources pertaining
to medieval Gora. Our research showed: first, that in the village of Gorjani,
near Đakovo, there are remnants of the medieval urban settlement Gora; second, that
the entire medieval settlement was located between the present-day Gorjani cemetery
in the northwest and the village itself in the northeast; third, that the medieval complex
was comprised of several units whereby each had emerged in the course of different
periods of history: the feudal castle in what is now the village cemetery, a fortified
settlement and a fortified palace in its southeastern corner, and the Ottoman
tower in today’s Gorjani; fourth, that the beginning of the state of continued population
of Gorjani can probably be traced back to as early as the VIth century, which is
the time of Slavic settlement in the area. By the middle of the Xth century the Slavic
people founded an early medieval župa (district) whose seat was located in the prefeudal
župa’s fortress; fifth, that no later than towards the end of the XIth century did
the early medieval kindred župa become a district forming a part of the royal county
of Vukovo, while the kindred župa’s fortress became a royal fortress; sixth, that
the Gora district existed all through the second half of the XIIIth century, when it was
given (in 1269), together with the settlement and the fortress (the latter first being
mentioned in 1256) to John and Stephen I de genere Drusma by duke Béla; seventh,
that Gora remained in the ownership of their offspring, whose family name Gorjanski
(de Gara) derives from the Gora fortress and the settlement, until 1481, when the last
male member of the family died. During their reign the old kindred and royal
fortress, i.e. the medieval building site, were destroyed, and in their place a contemporary
fortress was build, i.e. a feudal castle, whose fortifications carried the features
typical for military edifices of the XIIIth and the XIVth century; eighth, that the Gora
castle was built according to design, i.e. on the basis of a project, and that it was
swiftly erected in the course of 1380s where the old settlement used to be located;
ninth, that due to the political and economic power of its landlords, primarily of the
Gorjanskis and the Iločkis (= of Il |
