Croatian Monarchs
A history of Croatian monarchs and viceroys.
Contents
Kingdom of Croatia
Tomislav established a kingdom in 925 by joining the duchies of Pannonia and Dalmatia. This kingdom was organized into counties called zupanije. Kings appointed a viceroy called a ban.
The kingdom's focus was in consolidating control over the city-states of the Dalmatian coast, which brought it into conflict (and bargaining) with the Bulgarian and Byzantine empires.
Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia
Coloman was elected king of Croatia and Dalmatia. The kingdoms of Hungary and Croatia entered into a union that would hold until Ottoman conquest.
As the monarchs typically reigned from Hungary, a viceroy was appointed to oversee Croatia. The title ban continued to be used for this office.
