The '''House of Frankopan''' (((lang-hr|Frankopani, Frankapani)), ((lang-it|Frangipani)), ((lang-hu|Frangepán)), ((lang-la|Frangepanus, Francopanus))) was a [[Croats|Croatian]] [[Nobility|noble]] family, whose members were among the great landowner magnates and high officers of the [[Croatia in union with Hungary|Kingdom of Croatia in union with Hungary]].

The Frankopans, along with the [[Zrinski family|Zrinskis]], are among the most important and most famous Croatian noble families who, from the 11th to the 17th century, were very closely connected with the history, past and destiny of the Croatian people and [[Croatia]]. For centuries, members of these noble clans were the bearers and defenders of Croatia against the Ottomans, but also resolute opponents of the increasingly dangerous Habsburg imperial absolutism and German hegemony, which in the spirit of European mercantilism sought to consolidate throughout the Habsburg Monarchy. The past of these two clans is intertwined with marital ties, friendships and participation in almost all significant events in Croatia, especially on the battlefields in the defense of Croatia from the Ottoman conqueror.<ref name=hemk/>

The Frankopan family was one of the leading Croatian [[Aristocracy (class)|aristocratic]] families from the 12th to the 17th century. Since the 15th century they were trying to link themselves to the [[Rome|Roman]] patrician [[Frangipani family]] (which claimed descent from a [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] [[Plebs|plebeian]] family of [[Anicia (gens)|Anicii]] and ended in 1654 with Mario Frangipane being its last male descendant<ref>((cite encyclopedia|url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/mario-frangipane_(Dizionario-Biografico)|title=Frangipane, Mario|encyclopedia=[[Treccani|Treccani - Enciclopedia Italiana]] (online edition)|access-date=2017-10-16))</ref>).

Along with the members of the [[Zrinski]] family the Frankopan ranked high in terms of importance by virtue of power, wealth, fame, glory and role in Croatian and Hungarian history. The first known member of Croatian lineage of the Frankopan family was Dujam I Krčki (''Doymus Veglenfis'' in Latin sources that also attribute the title of [[comes]] to him<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gTBoAAAAcAAJ|title=Illyricum sacrum, vol. 5|author=Daniele Farlati|publisher=Sebastianum Coleti|date=1775|page=640))</ref><ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WIYYwC8bsygC|title=Ecclesiae Venetae (Torcellanae)|author=Flaminio Cornelio|publisher=Pasquali|date=1749|pages=228, 229))</ref>), lord of [[Krk]] who received permission by Domenico Michieli, [[Doge of Venice]] from 1118 to 1130, to rule the island of Krk as [[vassal]] of the [[Republic of Venice]].<ref name=hemk /><ref name=hbl /> His exact origin is unknown, but he and his descendants were referred to as the Counts of Krk in historical documents.<ref name=hemk /><ref name=trecc /><ref name=hbl /> In 1221, the brothers Henry and Servidon Frankopan received the islands of [[Brač]], [[Hvar]], [[Korčula]] and [[Lastovo]] as a gift from King [[Andrew II of Hungary]] for their services.<ref>((CiteQ|Q113677302|page=70))</ref>
In 1428 [[Nikola Frankopan|Nikola IV Krčki]] ([[Ban of Croatia|Ban of Croatia and Dalmatia]] from 1426 to 1432) was the first of the Counts of Krk to call himself Frankapan.<ref name=n4f>((cite web|url=http://hbl.lzmk.hr/clanak.aspx?id=6302|title=Frankapan, Nikola IV (de Frangepan; Mikula, Nicolaus)|publisher=[[Croatian Biographical Lexicon]] by [[Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography]] (online edition)|access-date=2017-10-16))</ref> In 1430 he managed to receive recognition from [[Pope Martin V]] for being a descendant of the old Roman patrician family Frangipani and officially started using the name and coat of arms Frangipani.<ref name=arh /><ref name=n4f />

In 1240–1241 the [[Mongol Empire]] [[Mongol invasion of Europe|advanced]] from [[Kingdom of Poland (1025–1385)|Poland]] toward [[Kingdom of Hungary (1000–1538)|Hungary]] whose [[King of Hungary|King]], [[Béla IV of Hungary|Béla IV]] resisted bravely but finally had to seek refuge in Dalmatia. King Béla stayed with the Frankopans who assisted him with arms and funds and brought him into safety in Veglia and then brought him back to his own land. As reward the King gave the Frankopans the county of Senj with surrounding lands and the castle of [[Modruš]].<ref name="Gliubich136">[Gliubich, Simeone, Dizionario biografico degli uomini illustri della Dalmazia, Vienna, 1856, p. 136.]</ref>

In 1246 there was another war, between [[Frederick II, Duke of Austria]] and Béla, who, with the assistance of the Frankopan, [[Battle of Leitha River|won a victory]]. As a further reward, King Béla then, by royal decree, created the Frankopans as Lords of their territory for them and their descendants.<ref name="Gliubich136" />

The Frankopans constantly supported the [[Catholic Church in Croatia|Catholic Church]]. In particular, Nikola Frankopan reconstructed the Holy House of Our Lady in 1294 in [[Tersatto]] (Trsat).<ref name="Gliubich136" /> It is recorded that in 1291, Nikola Frankopan sent a delegation to [[Nazareth]] to measure the Holy House after the House had been saved, presumably by the Crusaders, and brought to Trsat or Tersatto, on the Adriatic Coast where the Frankopans had a castle. In 1294 Nikola Frankopan, gave the Holy House to the Pope to be placed on Papal lands, at [[Loreto, Marche|Loreto]], near [[Ancona]].

Although the possessions of the family were exposed to every assault both from the east and the west, their power increased steadily until the 17th century when their lands reached further east. The [[Zrinski]] and Frankopan families came into closer affinity by marriage ties until in the eyes of the [[Europe]]an courts they had become one of the most important families of Croatia.

In 1420 the Swedish King [[Erik of Pomerania]] called Ivan VI Frankopan, the eldest son of the Croatian ban Nikola IV, to [[Sweden]] to accompany the Swedish King to the Holy Land and later to assist the King at the Court in Sweden. Ivan VI Frankopan lived in Sweden at intervals between 1420 and 1430. After his father's death he returned to his home country. His eldest son called Matthias (Matija)<ref>((cite journal | language = hr | url = http://www.matica.hr/Kolo/kolo0202.nsf/AllWebDocs/strcic1 | journal = [[Kolo (magazine)|Kolo]] | author = Petar Strčić | title = Vončinin genealoški, onomasiološki i kronološki pristup Franji Krsti Frankopanu | issue = 2 | year = 2002 | issn = 1331-0992 | publisher = [[Matica hrvatska]] | access-date = 2013-02-10 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091003041637/http://www.matica.hr/Kolo/kolo0202.nsf/AllWebDocs/strcic1 | archive-date = 2009-10-03 ))</ref> stayed in Sweden.

In 1425 [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Sigismund]] confirmed the noble status of [[Nikola Frankopan]] referring to him as ''Niklas Frangiapan Comes de Begle, Segnie et Modrusse'' (''Nikola Frankopan, Count of Krk, Senj and Modruš'')<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.archivinformationssystem.at/detail.aspx?ID=1938909|title=119.16 Fragiapan, Begle, Segnie et Modrusse, Niclas Comes des, Bestätigung und Erneuerung der Rotwachsfreiheit|publisher=Österreichisches Staatsarchiv (digital archive information system of [[National Archives of Austria]]|access-date=2017-10-27))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.archivinformationssystem.at/detail.aspx?ID=1938952|title=120.6 Frangiapan, Begle, Segnie et Modrusse, Niklas Comes de, Bestätigung und Erneuerung der Rotwachsfreiheit|publisher=Österreichisches Staatsarchiv (digital archive information system of [[National Archives of Austria]]|access-date=2017-10-27))</ref> using the [[Latin]] title of [[comes]].

[[Bernardin Frankopan]]'s (1453–1529) paternal grandmother Dorothy was from a prominent Hungarian noble family, [[House of Garay|Garay]], while his mother Isotta from [[House of Este|Este]] family was [[princess|Duchy of Ferrara]] of [[Ferrara]]. Through ancestry from royal Spanish families Bernardin had even [[Árpád dynasty|Árpád]] ancestry (the Árpád dynasty founded the Kingdom of Hungary.) The Frankopan family was persecuted after the [[Zrinski-Frankopan conspiracy]], where the Count [[Fran Krsto Frankopan]] participated in an uprising against [[Habsburg]] King [[Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor|Leopold I]]. He and his brother-in-law, [[Petar Zrinski]] were executed in [[Wiener Neustadt]].

The line of Stjepan II Frankopan, Ban of Croatia (d. 1481), died out with Katarina Frankopan in the 16th century. The line of Sigismund Frankopan expired with Franjo Frankopan, [[Bishop of Eger]] in 1542. Another branch died out in 1572 with Franjo Frankopan, Ban of Croatia; and the Trsat branch died out with [[Fran Krsto Frankopan]] in 1671 (and in the female line with Maria Juliana Frankopan, married Countess of [[Abensberg-Traun|Abensberg und Traun]] and later Countess von [[Attems]]).<ref name="Nagy 1858" />

Several of the Frankopan castles remain in [[Croatia]], mostly around the [[Gorski kotar]] region and the island of [[Krk]]. The castle at Stara Susica near [[Trsat]] incorporates structures going back to the [[Illyria]]n and [[Roman era|Roman]] periods. The town of [[Bosiljevo]] has a medieval fortified castle, renovated in the last century in the spirit of the Romanesque. The castle and park at [[Severin na Kupi]] were owned by the Frankopan family until the mid-17th century. Other castles or property of the Frankopans could be found in [[Ribnik, Croatia|Ribnik]], [[Bosiljevo]], [[Novi Vinodolski]], Drivenik, [[Ogulin]], [[Slunj]], [[Ozalj]], [[Cetingrad]], [[Trsat]], and other surrounding towns. The Frankopan castle in the town of [[Krk]] is currently used for open-air performances in the summer months. Some castles which were properties of the family:
