Plameni inkvizitori

Marija Jurić Zagorka

In Flaming inquisitors, three different love couples are shown "each of whom will have his own audience with his own love and his own idea". The novel is based on historical sources about the reign of King Stephen VI. and his son Ladislav IV. Kumana.

The events take place in Croatia and Hungary (Grič, Buda, Požega) in the 13th century, in the time that covers the last year of Stephen's reign (1272) and the first year of the reign of the minor Ladislav and his mother Elizabeth, Stephen's widow (1273). It is about the time of the Catholic Church's fight against the "heretical" Bogomils, the conflict and reconciliation of the Hungarian kings with Rudolph of Habsburg and the Czech king Otokar, and the quarrels of the Croatian nobles Gisingovci and Babonić, that is, about the time of "lunatic superstition", "rage of hysterical bloodlust", "century madness and hysteria" in which only the "right of the stronger" reigns.
