The article offers an insight into a number of events in the modern age, in which Slovenian-speaking inhabitants of the western Slovenian territory were involved - the same events are unfolded by some modern historiographic writings, which were created in the area of Friuli. Late Medieval and Early Modern Slavs appear in Friuli's historiography largely in connection with particular ‘faidas’, wars or invasions, and are also often represented as active participants in the events of war, Slavic women, on the other hand, are presented even as cold-blooded avengers.

At the beginning of the Early Modern Period numerous depictions of class stratification of the society back then were created. One of these iconographic motifs that are typical of the art of the time is the stratification tree, which depicts the estates and social classes in a hierarchically phased, tree-shaped diagrammatic representation. Death, which threatens and "attacks" this hierarchical structure, is depicted as a memento mori for all the levels of society and at the same time as the element that clearly visualizes the volatility and for many scholars questionable social hierarchy.
