From the medieval kingdom of Tomislav to the gunfire that shattered Yugoslavia, Croatia’s story is a hinge of European history. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through a thousand years of shifting borders, dynastic struggles, and cultural survival. They explore the rise of the Trpimirović dynasty, the personal union with Hungary, and the long shadow of the Ottoman advance — including the pivotal 1566 Battle of Szigetvár and the enduring legacy of the Military Frontier. The show examines Dubrovnik’s golden age as a maritime republic, the Illyrian movement’s 19th-century national revival, and the turbulent 20th century: the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the Ustaše regime, Tito’s federation, and the bitter Homeland War of the 1990s. Each episode unpacks how geography — the Adriatic coast, the Dinaric Alps, the Pannonian plain — shaped a nation caught between empires. No episode is complete without discussing Croatian cultural touchstones: the Glagolitic script, the UNESCO-protected klapa singing, and the stone walls of Ston. By the end, you’ll understand why Croatia’s past still echoes in its EU membership, its border disputes, and its quest for identity in a united Europe. This is a history of resilience, not just a list of kings and treaties. #Croatia #CroatianHistory #MedievalEurope #DubrovnikRepublic #TrpimirovicDynasty #OttomanWars #BattleOfSzigetvar #IllyrianMovement #AustroHungarianEmpire #KingdomOfYugoslavia #Ustase #Tito #HomelandWar #GlagoliticScript #KlapaSinging #AdriaticSea #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Queen Jelena the Glorious: Croatia's Forgotten Female Ruler

    Queen Jelena the Glorious: Croatia's Forgotten Female Ruler
    2026/07/21
    This episode explores the remarkable life and reign of Queen Jelena the Glorious of Croatia, the wife of King Dmitar Zvonimir and a powerful ruler in her own right. After Zvonimir's death in 1089, Jelena navigated a treacherous political landscape, securing the succession for her brother-in-law Stjepan II and later aligning with King Coloman of Hungary. Her influence was crucial in the lead-up to the Pacta Conventa of 1102, the agreement that united Croatia and Hungary. We also discuss her role in the Sabor, her patronage of the Church, and archaeological evidence from her time, including the Kaptol excavations and the Baška Tablet, which mention her reign. The episode sheds light on how a woman wielded power in a patriarchal medieval kingdom and why she remains a controversial figure—celebrated by some as a peacemaker, vilified by others as a traitor for her Hungarian alliance. #QueenJelena #JelenaLijepa #CroatianHistory #MedievalCroatia #DmitarZvonimir #PactaConventa #BaškaTablet #Kaptol #ColomanOfHungary #Sabor #StjepanII #Zvonimir #QueenConsort #MedievalQueenship #CroatianKingdom #Dalmatia #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Croatian Parliament: A Thousand Years of the Sabor

    The Croatian Parliament: A Thousand Years of the Sabor
    2026/07/21
    The Croatian Sabor is one of the oldest parliamentary institutions in Europe, with roots stretching back to the medieval kingdom. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace its evolution from the tribal councils of early Croatian dukes to the modern democratic assembly. They explore how the Sabor elected kings in the 11th century, negotiated the Pacta Conventa with Hungary in 1102, and served as a forum for noble resistance during Habsburg rule. Key figures like the ban and the Sabor's role in the 1848 Illyrian movement and the 1990 independence are discussed. The conversation also touches on the Tabula Trogirensis, a 12th-century inscription showing early parliamentary activity, and the Sabor's temporary abolition under Yugoslav communism. This episode offers a fresh angle on Croatian political history through the lens of its longest-lasting institution. #CroatianSabor #ParliamentaryHistory #Croatia #MedievalCroatia #PactaConventa #TabulaTrogirensis #IllyrianMovement #1848 #Habsburg #Independence #Democracy #BalkanHistory #DukeTrpimir #KingTomislav #BanJelacic #Yugoslavia #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Ivan Gundulić and the Baroque Soul of Ragusa

    Ivan Gundulić and the Baroque Soul of Ragusa
    2026/07/20
    In this episode of The History of Croatia, we step away from the battles and treaties to explore the cultural life of the Republic of Ragusa through its greatest poet, Ivan Gundulić. Born in 1589 into a noble family, Gundulić wrote the epic poem "Osman" — a sprawling work about the clash between the Ottoman and Polish worlds, infused with Ragusa's own anxieties about its powerful neighbor. We discuss how Gundulić's Baroque style, with its vivid imagery and moral allegory, reflected the city's unique position as a Catholic republic under Ottoman suzerainty. We also look at his play "Dubravka," which gave Ragusa its enduring motto: "Oh beautiful, oh dear, oh sweet liberty." The conversation touches on the Ragusan Academy of the Concord, the influence of Torquato Tasso, and how Gundulić's work was rediscovered in the 19th century as a cornerstone of Croatian national identity. This episode offers a window into the intellectual and artistic world of one of the Adriatic's most sophisticated city-states. #IvanGundulić #Ragusa #Dubrovnik #Osman #Dubravka #Baroque #CroatianLiterature #Adriatic #RepublicOfRagusa #AcademyOfTheConcord #TorquatoTasso #17thCentury #EpicPoetry #CroatianIdentity #SvetiVlaho #History #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
