him until death. Over the centuries the
casate
teen cases conversion occurred as result of
345
marrying a bride from the rival clan. How¬
ever, with marriage conversions no clan group¬
ings actually take place. These conversions,
apparently, had always taken place when a
casata
ran out of the male heirs and a son-
in-law would come to live on his wife s estate.
The offspring of such a couple adopted the clan
orientation of the mother s
casata,
yet bore the
surname of the father s
casata.
In the eighteenth century, when the patri¬
cian rift had deeply affected the biological
level and when the nobles of the Salamankezi
circle promoted the idea of pure blood , mar¬
riage was not merely a pretext but the only
reason for conversion which operated in only
one direction: a Salamankez may have become
a Sorbone:.
(5
cases in the eighteenth century),
but
a Sorbone:
could by no means become a
Salamankę:.
In the earlier centuries, however,
conversions occurred in all directions. The
bulk of the noble lineages never changed their
clan position. Among them there are many
families which died out at an early date. The
most stable among the long-descended line¬
ages were
Săraca
and
Proculo
within the Gun-
dulić
clan, and Babalio,
Bonda
and
Georgio
within the
Bobaljević
clan.
The principle of affinity played an impor¬
tant role in the choice of bride and groom, the
likelihood being that a noble father would
rather give his daughter to a patrician from a
friendly clan than that of the rivals. Before
1350
two thirds of marriages were arranged
within the same clan, and merely one third
between different clans. After
1500
the por¬
tion of marriages within the same clan neared
70%.
In the period
1351-1500,
marked by the
existence of three clans, the moderate Gu-
četić
clan tended to reconcile the two more
radical clans, so that marriages were made
in all directions with a slight domination of
in-clan marriage. After the earthquake, when
Sorbone:.!
(e.g.
Gundulić
clan) increased their
number by incorporating several
casate
of Sa-
lamankezi
(Bobaljević
clan), headed by Ma-
rojica Caboga
(1630-1692),
and attracted the
new nobility, the dominating Salamankezi
group, having realised that the aggregation of
new patricians changed the power balance
against them, reacted by promoting the thesis
of pure blood , that is, by introducing the cri¬
teria of the noble and less noble patricians.
This gave way to the forming of two clearly
distinguished endogamous clan groups. Mar¬
riage with a member of the rival clan was pro¬
scribed as offence and was sanctioned by
expulsion from the clan. A Salamankezi groom
who married a Sorbonezi bride was no longer
a Salamankez because he contaminated his
blood. In the period between
1667
and the
Republic s fall as many as
94%
of marriages
involved spouses of the same clan, the remain¬
ing few per cent of inter-marriages having
taken place immediately after the earthquake
yet before the aggregation of the new nobility,
when the question of marriage had not yet
been treated as a norm.
Clan divisions no longer existed after the
fall of the
Dubrovnik
Republic. The patricians
married outside their noble circle (in two
thirds of the cases), but when marrying their
equals, they still tended to follow the old clan
rules (in three quarters of the cases).
Ragusan noble clans resembled present-
day political parties, though lacking formal
structure. With some reserve, we might say
that they were custom-based political parties
characterised by a strong kinship component,
the inertia of which contributed to their con¬
tinuity over the centuries. However, without
formal structure their activity may be describ¬
ed as fluid. Clan grouping was accentuated in
the times of crisis and extreme situations,
when political life was marked by strong
homogenisation and clan position became
essential in the election for office. The end of
