Epilógus
Comes terrestris Crisiensis. An introductory study of the "parish," and briefly describes the comes terrestris as an individual who took care of the community of the landed estates and who was a part of judicial system. Furthermore, he states that the comes terrestris had a role in resolving disputes over borders and issued charters regarding every legal transaction connected to the landed estates.21 Lelja Dobronić also explored the history of particular castle districts. While researching the castle of Kalnik she worked on the history of its castle warriors too. She did not pay much attention to the function of the comes terrestris itself, except that she reaffirmed the argument of Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski, who claimed that a freely elected comes terrestris stood at the head of the nobles of Kalnik.22 The work of Josip Adamček on the praediales of Rovišće belongs to the same scholarly approach, who points out that their position and the one of the castle warriors was not that different and that in parallel with a royal comes on those estates existed more freely elected counts (comites parochiales). The comes terrestris appears alongside these comites parochiales, and Adamček states briefly that the comes terrestris was able to issue charters independently.23 The function of comes terrestrisis touched upon briefly by Ivan Peklić in his work on the Poljana estate, where he mentions that they were personally involved in property exchanges regarding that estate.24 Attila Zsoldos in his work A szent király szabadjai [The Freemen of the Holy King] did not wish to deal with the history of the Slavonian castle warriors. He notes the differences between the nobility who resided in the areas North and South of the river Drava and how the same could be said for the castle warriors.25 Hungarian historian Árpád Nógrády explored the relationship between the praediales of Rovišće with the Ders (Držanić) family, who held 21 Josip Buturac, Vrbovec i okolica 1134.-1984.
