Nobles families Gorjanski and Iločki were one of the most significant families from 14th to 16th century in Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom. This paper presents Croatian historiography research about the two families in period from second part of 19th century untill today. The paper also includes an explanation of historiography in different periods in time. From second part of 19th century untill end of 20th century, families Gorjanski and Iločki were extremely negatively interpreted as a „foreigners“ Period from 1950 untill 1990 presents a great lack of interest for mentioned families. Having that in mind, Croatian historiography is lacking critical analysis and researches. It is mainly written about their property and the families are only mentioned in short reviews. The newest period, which includes years from 1990 untill present, displays the most comprehensive researches on families Gorjanski and Iločki. Interest for mentioned families starts rising and that is when authors Stanko Andrić and Mladen Radić bring comletely new historical reviews on families in their critial analysis. For the first time mentioned families are not presented in negative context. Regardless available literature, representation of noble families Gorjanski and Iločki still lacks experience and is characterized by inadequate number of literature on their activity. Further research is necessary to place both families into the wider context of society, as opposed to Hungarian historiography.
