County, City and Manorial jurisdiction in Slavonia from 1687 to 1850

During the 18th and the first half of the 19th century a feudal system of jurisdiction was applied in Slavonia. At the end of the 17th century Slavonia was liberated from the long Turkish rule and was incorporated in the composition of the Austrian Empire. However, in the first decades after the liberation of Slavonia, all walks of life were administered by the army, thus, the military law was also applied in the area of jurisdiction in the military courts. Cities had very little judicial authority. The situation improved only after 1746, when Maria Theresa re-established counties and introduced civil authority in the territory of Slavonia. In these parts the civil forms of justice was introduced, and judgments were pronounced by the county, manorial and municipal courts. In the rest of Slavonia, in the part along the border with the Ottoman Empire, military rules continued to be applied in the judicature.
