INTRODUCTION

 

 

According to the Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split, the Croats were originally called "Curetes vel Coribantes" because they were "running about" ("currentes") and unsettled[1].  The area now known as Croatia was under the control of the Avars until some time during the seventh century, although the Croatians to the north in Pannonian Croatia remained part of the Avar khaganate, centred on the Tisza River.  Charles I King of the Franks (later Emperor Charlemagne) launched his first campaign against the Avars in 791, followed by a second campaign in 795-96.  He eliminated the independent Avar state, although a small khaganate continued to exist until at least 822 as a vassal of the Franks.  The Franks were overlords as far east as the Tisza River, including over the two separate Croatian principalities in Pannonia and Dalmatia[2].  Within the territory of Dalmatian Croatia, some non-contiguous walled coastal towns (including Dubrovnik, Split, Trogir and Zadar) and offshore islands (including Krk and Rab) recognised Byzantine suzerainty.  They were consolidated into the Byzantine theme of Dalmatia in the 870s, although they remained largely autonomous from direct Byzantine control[3].  Under the Treaty of Verdun 11 Aug 843, by which the territory of the empire was divided between the three sons of Emperor Louis I, Pannonian Croatia fell to the kingdom of the East Franks ruled by Louis II, while Dalmatian Croatia became part of Lotharingia ruled by Emperor Lothar.  Dalmatian Croatia was reassigned to Germanic jurisdiction in 875 but succeeded in asserting its independence the following year[4].  Small administrative units "županije" were formed, usually covering one karst valley, under "župani" who ruled from fortified castles[5]. 

 

The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split describes the boundaries of the kingdom of Croatia: to the east "Delmina, ubi fuit civitas Delmis", to the west Carinthia up to the town of "Stridonis quod nunc est confinium Dalmatie et Ystrie", to the north "a ripa Danubii usque ad mare Dalmaticum cum tota Maronia et Chulmie ducatu"[6]. 

 

The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split records that "rex Suinimirus" died without leaving an heir from his posterity, and that "quidam ex magnatibus Sclavonie" went "in Hungariam…ad regem Vladisclavum" requesting him to intervene in Croatia to put an end to the chaos which followed the king's death[7].  The same source records that Kálmán King of Hungary annexed the remaining parts of Croatia in 1102/03[8], ending Croatia's almost three hundred years of existence as an independent state.  By 1107, he had also taken control of all the Byzantine towns in Dalmatia.  He was elected king of Croatia and Dalmatia, which remained a jurisdictionally separate kingdom from Hungary, in return for guaranteeing the local authority of the Croatian nobility.  Each successive Hungarian king was separately crowned king of Croatia until the accession of Béla V in 1235[9].  Hungary lost Dalmatia to Venice in 1116.  Despite attempts to recapture it in 1117 and 1124, the occupation lasted until 1181 when it was recovered by King Béla III with Byzantine support[10].  In 1222, the rebellion of the Croatian lower nobility forced András II King of Hungary to issue the Golden Bull which limited royal authority[11]. 

 

The city commune of Dubrovnik developed into an independent republic by the mid-14th century and extended its jurisdiction along an extensive coastal belt.  It competed with Venice commercially[12].  In 1408, Ladislas King of Naples, claimant to the throne of Hungary, sold all his rights in Dalmatia to Venice which by 1420 governed Istria as well as various cities and islands between the Kvarner gulf in the north-west and the Dubrovnik republic in the south[13].  Croatia fell to the Ottoman Turks after the battle of the Krbava Valley in Lika in 1493, during which Derenčin Ban of Croatia was killed[14].  By the 1520s, the old nucleus of the Croatian state had been converted into Ottoman sanjaks[15]. 

 

The first Croatian hagiographies and chronicles were written in the 12th century, including the Ljetopis popa Dukljanina (Chronicles of the priest of Docleia) and the Historia Salonitanorum atque Spalatinorum pontificum by Archdeacon Thomas of Split.  The relationships between the early dukes and kings of Croatia are therefore particularly suspect.  The confirmation of the parentage and marriages of the members of the families set out in this document have not yet been confirmed in primary sources, unless otherwise stated below. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    LEADERS of DALMATIAN CROATIA, later DUKES of CROATIA (TRPIMIROVIĆ) 

 

 

 

1.             VIŠESLAV (-[810]).  Leader of the Croatians of Dalmatia, based at Nin, near Zadar.  It appears that the Frankish campaigns helped unite Croatian Dalmatia under this single prince, who also accepted Frankish overlordship.  The Franks placed the Croatians under the Marchese of Friulia[16]. 

 

 

Two siblings, parents not known: 

1.             BORNA (-821[17]).  He succeeded as Prince of Dalmatian Croatia in [810], with his main residence at Nin.  Einhard's Annales record that in 819 "Borna…dux Dalmatiæ" fought "Liudewito" at "Colapium fluvium", that "Draganosus socer Liudewiti" was killed in the battle and that Borna married his widow[18].  Einhard's Annales record a meeting at Aachen in 820 in which the rebellion of "Liudewiti" was discussed, "Borna" being the leader of the legates[19].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Liudovitus" defeated "Bornæ…Dalmatiæ ducis" [in 819][20].  Einhard's Annales record a meeting at Aachen in 820 at which "Bera comes Barcinonæ" was defeated in horseback combat by those who had accused him of "fraudis et infidelitatis"[21].  Einhard's Annales record the death in 821 of "Borna dux Dalmatiæ atque Liburniæ" and that "nepos illius…Ladasclavus" was chosen by the people as his successor, with the consent of the emperor[22].  m (819) as her second husband ---, widow of DRAGANOSUS, daughter of ---.  Einhard's Annales record that in 819 "Borna…dux Dalmatiæ" fought "Liudewito" at "Colapium fluvium", that "Draganosus socer Liudewiti" was killed in the battle and that Borna married his widow[23]. 

2.             ---.  m ---. 

a)             LADISLAS .  Nephew of Borna, he succeeded in 821 as Prince of Dalmatian Croatia[24].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that the emperor installed "neptem suum…Ladasclao" after the death of "Borna"[25].  Einhard's Annales record the death in 821 of "Borna dux Dalmatiæ atque Liburniæ" and that "nepos illius…Ladasclavus" was chosen by the people as his successor, with the consent of the emperor[26].  Einhard's Annales name "Adalungus abbas monasterii sancti Vedasti et Hunfridus comes Curiensis" as missi to "Liudemuhslum avunculum Bornæ ducis"[27].  It is possible that this last reference is intended to refer to Ladislas. 

 

 

TRPIMIR I 845-864, ZDESLAV 864, 878-879, DOMAGOJ 864-876, ILJIKO 876-878, BRANIMIR 879-892, MUTIMIR 892-910

 

1.             MISLAV .  Knez of Croatia [830-845]. 

 

 

1.             TRPIMIR (-[864]).  He succeeded as TRPIMIR I Duke of Croatia [Dux Croatorum] in [845], under the suzerainty of Emperor Lothar as King of Italy[28].  He transferred his main residence from Nin to Klis.  In 852, he donated lands near Split to the church, described in "Trpimir's Deed of Gift", the oldest preserved document on Croatian territory[29].  m ---.  The name of Trpimir's wife is not known.  Trpimir & his wife had two children:

a)             PETAR (-[879]). 

b)             ZDESLAV (-murdered 879).  He succeeded his father in [864] as ZDESLAV Duke of Croatia, but in the same year was overthrown by Domagoj, a Knin nobleman, and fled to Constantinople[30].  He was restored as Duke of Croatia in [878], in succession to Duke Demagoj's son, Duke Iljiko.  He was overthrown and murdered in 879 by Branimir, a nobleman unrelated to the dynasty.  m ---.  The name of Zdeslav's wife is not known.  Zdeslav & his wife had one child:

i)               MUTIMIR (-[910]).  He succeeded in 892 as MUTIMIR Duke of Croatia. 

 

 

1.             DOMAGOJ (-[876]).  He deposed Duke Zdeslav, and succeeded in [864] as DOMAGOJ Duke of Croatia.  After the Frankish suzerainty was transferred from the Lotharingian to the Germanic part of the Empire in 875, the Franks reasserted their authority in Dalmatian Croatia triggering a successful revolt in 876.  Domagoj also tried to liberate Istria but was driven out by Venetian troops[31].  m ---.  The name of Domagoj's wife is not known.  Domagoj & his wife had one child: 

a)             ILJIKO (-after 878).  He succeeded his father in [876] as ILJIKO Duke of Croatia, but was overthrown by Duke Zdeslav in [878].  He ended Frankish suzerainty over Croatia[32]. 

 

 

 

1.             BRANIMIR [Brazlowo] .  A Croatian nobleman unrelated to the main dynasty of Dukes, he overthrew and murdered Duke Zdeslav in 879, succeeding as BRANIMIR Duke of Croatia.  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Branimiri ducis Slavonia", when Marinus was archbishop of Split[33].  The Annales Fuldenses name "Brazlowoni duce" who ruled "inter Dravum et Savum flumine", that King Arnulf met him at "Hengistfeldon" in 892 and that in 896 Emperor Arnulf appointed "Brazlowoni, duci suo" to guard "urbe Paludarum"[34].  Croatia received Papal recognition as a State during his rule[35], Pope John VIII addressing a letter to him[36].  His name "Branimir Duke of the Croats" appears on four stone inscriptions, one mentioning 888[37]. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2.    KINGS of CROATIA [925]-1096

 

 

TOMISLAV 910-928, TRPIMIR II 928-935, KREŠIMIR I 935-944, MIROSLAV 944-948

 

1.             TOMISLAV (-[928]).  He succeeded in [910] as TOMISLAV Duke of Croatia.  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Tamislavi ducis" in 914, when Iohannes was archbishop of Split[38].  Pannonian Croatia requested help from Tomislav Duke of Dalmatian Croatia against the Hungarians whom he defeated, establishing a lasting border along the Drava River in the early 900s and annexing what remained of Pannonian Croatia[39].  In 923, Byzantium negotiated an alliance with Tomislav against Bulgaria, and awarded him the honorary title of proconsul.  This provoked Symeon I Tsar of Bulgaria into attacking Croatia, but Tomislav defeated him in [926][40].  There is some evidence pointing to Tomislav having been crowned King of Croatia in [925], in the form of a letter from Pope John X allegedly written in 925 which calls him king, although Fine[41] points out that its authenticity cannot be proved as the document exists only in copies made in the 16th century and later.  Church synods held in Split in 925 prohibited the Slav language in liturgy and the Glagolithic script in favour of Latin[42]. 

 

 

2.             TRPIMIR (-[935]).  Trpimir was the possible son of Duke Mutimir (see Chapter 1) according to Europäische Stammtafeln[43].  Fine highlights the confusion about the Kings of Croatia between the death of Tomislav in [928] and the succession of Krešimir II in [949][44].  He succeeded in [928] as TRPIMIR II King of Croatia.] 

 

 

3.             KREŠIMIR (-[944]).  Krešimir was the son of Trpimir according to Europäische Stammtafeln[45].  He succeeded in [935] as KREŠIMIR I King of Croatia. 

 

 

4.             MIROSLAV (-949).  Miroslav was the son of Krešimir according to Europäische Stammtafeln[46].  He succeeded in [944] as MIROSLAV King of Croatia.  According to the De administrando imperio of Emperor Konstantinos VII, he was overthrown and killed by a nobleman, Pribina ban of Lika, Krbava and Gacka, in 949[47]. 

 

 

KREŠIMIR II 948-969, STJEPAN DRŽISLAV 969-986, TRPIMIR III 986-995, KREŠIMIR III 1000-1030, STJEPAN I 1030-1058, KREŠIMIR IV 1058-1074, STJEPAN II 1085-1090

 

1.             MIHAIL KREŠIMIR (-969, bur Solin St Stephen).  Mihail Krešimir was the son of Miroslav according to Europäische Stammtafeln[48].  He succeeded in 949 as KREŠIMIR II King of Croatia.  Časlav Knez of Serbia conquered much of Bosnia from Croatia, although KREŠIMIR II regained western Bosnia after the death of Časlav in [960][49].  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split records that "magnificus vir Cresimirus rex" was buried in the basilica of St Stephen in Salona [Solin] "cum pluribus aliis regibus et reginis"[50].  m JELENA, daughter of --- (-8 Oct 975, bur Solin).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[51], Jelena was from the family of the "Zadser Primorengeschlechtes der Madier".  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split records that "Helena regina" founded the churches of St Stephen and St Mary in Salona [Solin][52].  King Krešimir II & his wife had one child: 

a)             STJEPAN DRŽISLAV (-997).  He succeeded in 969 as STJEPAN DRŽISLAV King of Croatia.  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Dirscisclavi regis" in 970, when Martin was archbishop of Split[53].  He was crowned King of Croatia in [988].  He became the ally of Emperor Basileios II, who granted him the administration of the Byzantine held towns in Dalmatia, naming him eparchos and patrikios, in return for support against the Bulgarian empire of Samuel Kometopoulos[54].  He left Croatia to be divided between his three sons after his death[55].  m ---.  The name of Stjepan Držislav's wife is not known.  King Stjepan Držislav & his wife had three children: 

i)               SVETOSLAV .  He succeeded his father in 997 as SVETOSLAV King of Croatia, jointly with but with primacy over his two brothers.  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split records that all the successors of "Dirscisclavi regis" were called kings of Dalmatia and Croatia, received the insignia of kingship from the emperors in Constantinople and were styled "eparchi sive patricii"[56].  Faced with threats to Byzantium's outpost towns in Dalmatia, both from pirate raids and from Samuil Tsar of Bulgaria, who by 997 had conquered Durazzo and much of Duklja and Serbia, Emperor Basileios II requested Venetian help to defend its interests and in 998 recognised the Doge of Venice as the Emperor's official representative in Dalmatia, according him the title dux of Dalmatia and the honorary position of proconsul[57].  After Svetoslav attempted to exercise sole authority over his brothers, they rebelled and plunged Croatia into civil war.  In 1000, they finally ousted Svetoslav, who turned to Venice for support and recognised Venetian overlordship over Dalmatia[58].  m ---.  The name of Svetoslav's wife is not known.  King Svetoslav & his wife had one child: 

(a)          STJEPAN (-after 1024).  After his father recognised Venetian overlordship over Dalmatia in [1000], he was sent as a hostage to Venice, where he married the Doge's daughter[59].  After the fall from power of the Orseolo family in 1024, Stjepan left Venice to find refuge in Hungary which granted him Slavonia as an appanage[60].  m (after [1000]) HICELA Orseolo, daughter of PIETRO Orseolo (II) Doge of Venice & his wife Maria ---.  The Chronicon Venetum names "Hicelam" as eldest of the four daughters of "Petrus dux", naming her husband "Stefano Sclavorum regis filio"[61]. 

ii)             KREŠIMIR (-[1029/30]).  He succeeded in [1000] as KREŠIMIR III King of Croatia.  Following Byzantium's 998 grant to Venice of increased authority over its Dalmatian outpost towns, Venice increased its involvement in the area to turn this theoretical right into real control.  It extracted oaths of loyalty from several of the Byzantine-controlled towns, then turned its attention to the Croatian-controlled ports, imposing itself as overlord in Biograd.  A major Venetian offensive took place in 1018, and Krešimir turned to Byzantium for support.  He accepted Byzantine overlordship and was granted the title patrikios[62].  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Cresimiri eorum patricii et regis Chroatorum" in 1015, "in the time of the emperors Basil and Constantine" and when Paul was archbishop of Split[63].  The Venetian civil war of 1024 enabled Krešimir to regain control over the Croatian towns in Dalmatia, as well as Byzantium to reassert its authority over its own Dalmatian towns[64].  After the death of Emperor Basileios II in 1025, Krešimir III ceased to pay homage to Byzantium, reasserting the independence of Croatia[65].  m ---.  The name of King Krešimir's wife is not known.  She was in a Byzantine jail in 1024[66].  King Krešimir III & his wife had one child: 

(a)          STJEPAN (-1058).  In a Byzantine jail in 1024[67].  He succeeded his father in 1030 as STJEPAN I King of Croatia.  He increased the size of the Croatian navy, and succeeded in maintaining control over the Croatian ports in Dalmatia.  He annexed Carinthia[68].  m ---.  According to Fine, the wife of King Stjepan was from Venice[69].  King Stjepan I & his wife had one child: 

(1)          PETAR KREŠIMIR (-after 1074).  He was brought up in Venice[70].  He succeeded his father in 1058 as KREŠIMIR IV King of Croatia.  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Stephani, Cresimiri et Suinimiri" as kings while Lawrence was Archbishop of Salona (installed in 1060) and "temporibus Michaelis imperatoris"[71].  Byzantium appointed Krešimir IV imperial representative in Dalmatia in 1069[72].  A religious man, he founded a Benedictine monastery at Biograd[73].  The Normans attacked northern Dalmatia in 1074, making themselves overlords in Split, Trogir, Biograd and Zadar, but were expelled by the Venetians over the following three years[74].  He was deposed in [1074] by Zvonimir Ban of Slavonia (see below).  He died in the prison of Count Amico Giovinazzo.  m ---.  The name of King Krešimir's wife is not known.  King Krešimir IV & his wife had one child:

a)             STJEPAN (-[1090/91]).  Dux 1066.  He abdicated in 1075 and became a monk at St Stefan in Split[76].  He succeeded 1085 as STJEPAN II King of Croatia and Dalmatia, jointly with Slavić from [1089/90] until [1090/91].  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Stephani, Cresimiri et Suinimiri" as kings while Lawrence was Archbishop of Salona (installed in 1060) and "temporibus Michaelis imperatoris"[77].  Hungary took control of Croatia and Dalmatia in 1091. 

 

 

2.             TRPIMIR .  He succeeded in 986 as TRPIMIR III King of Croatia, until 995.  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Tripimiri et Mucimiri, filii eius, regum" in 990, when Peter was archbishop of Split[78].  m ---.  The name of Trpimir's wife is not known.  King Trpimir III & his wife had two children:

a)             MUCIMIR .  The Historia Salonitanorum of Thomas Archdeacon of Split names "Tripimiri et Mucimiri, filii eius, regum" in 990, when Peter was archbishop of Split[79].  Co-regent of Croatia before 990-995.  He succeeded in 995 as MUCIMIR King of Croatia, until 1000.

b)             SURONJA .  Claimant to the throne.  He was banished to Venetian Trogia by his brother[80].

Chapter 3.    OTHER CROATIAN NOBILITY - BANS of CROATIA

 

 

The Bans of Croatia were appointed by the kings of Hungary, but other than being a military leader the appointee interfered little in local affairs.  During the late fourteenth/early fifteenth centuries, these bans were Croatian noblemen[91].
