Abstract:
The subject of analysis in this article is the fate of the economically very important possessions that Despot Djurdje Brankovic had in Hungary. These property was quite distant from the Serbian ethnic space. It would have been said that Jovan Hunjadi, under the mask of pignus, avoided the possibility that the Serbian Despot would accuse him of taking possession of property, of blackmail, of coercion. The Hungarian rulers intensively used Brankovic’s inability to efficiently control the estate that he had nominally owned. Despot had his property, but not in the reality. He formally possess something that he did not actually own, and he could never independently control it.
Keywords:
