= Croat Monarchs = A history of '''Croat monarchs'''. <> ---- == 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 [[WorldHistory/DalmatianCityStates|Dalmatian city-states]], which brought it into conflict (and bargaining) with the [[Bulgaria/Monarchs#First_Bulgarian_Empire|Bulgarians]] and [[WorldHistory/ByzantineEmpire|Byzantines]]. ---- == Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia == [[Hungary/Coloman|Coloman]] was elected king of Croatia and Dalmatia. The kingdoms of [[Hungary/Monarchs#Kingdom_of_Hungary|Hungary]] and Croatia entered into a union that would hold until [[WorldHistory/OttomanEmpire|Ottoman]] conquest. As the monarchs typically reigned from Hungary, one or more viceroys were appointed to oversee Croatia. The title ''ban'' continued to be used for these offices. The '''banate of Slavonia''' became a position of particular influence, and eventually was raised to a duchy. ---- == Kingdom of Dalmatia == Following a brief [[WorldHistory/NapoleonicWars|Napoleonic conquest]], the [[WorldHistory/DalmatianCityStates|Dalmatian coast]] was consolidated under the [[Austria/Monarchs#Austrian_Empire|Austrian Empire]]. The region was reorganized into a new '''Kingdom of Dalmatia''' and became a Habsburg crownland, with its capital in [[Croatia/Zadar|Zadar]]. ---- == Triune Kingdom == The concept of a united Croatia, Dalmatia, and Slavonia was popular among nationalists. This was alluded to in the [[Austria/Monarchs#Austro-Hungarian_Empire|Austro-Hungarian Compromise]], which supposedly established a union of the Kingdom of Hungary and the '''Triune Kingdom'''. Dalmatia, however, continued to be administered by Austria. ---- == Yugoslavia == The [[WorldHistory/TreatyOfTrianon|Treaty of Trianon]] ceded the entirety of Croatia, Slavonia, and Dalmatia to [[Serbia/Monarchs#Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia|Serbia]]. See the [[Croatia/Democratization#Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia|history of Croat democratization]] for the continuation of this national identity. ---- == Dynasties == === Trpimirovic === ||'''Dukes'''||'''Reign'''|| ||Trpimir I ||845 - 864 || ||Zdeslav ||878 - 879 || ||Muncimir ||892 - 910 || ||Tomislav ||910 - 925 || ||'''Kings''' ||'''Local name'''||'''Reign'''|| ||Tomislav || ||925 - 928 || ||Trpimir II || ||928 - 935 || ||Kresimir I || ||935 - 945 || ||Miroslav || ||945 - 949 || ||Michael Kresimir II||Mihajlo Kresimir||949 - 969 || ||Stephen Drzislav ||Stjepan Drzislav||969 - 997 || ||Svetoslav Suronja || ||997 - 1000 || ||Kresimir III || ||1000 - 1030|| ||Gojslav || ||1000 - 1020|| ||Stephen I ||Stjepan ||1030 - 1058|| ||Peter Kresimir IV ||Petar Kresimir ||1058 - 1074|| ||Demetrius Zvonimir ||Dmitar Zvonimir ||1075 - 1089|| ||Stephen II ||Stjepan ||1089 - 1091|| '''Kresimir III''' and '''Gojslav''' co-ruled until the latter's death. === Snacic === After the '''Trpimirovic dynasty''' ended without an heir, '''Ladislaus I''' of Hungary pressed a claim on the kingdom.
