Mislav of Croatia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mislav was the Prince (Slavic:Knez) of Dalmatia in 835–845.

Mislav succeeded Vladislav as the Prince of Dalmatia. He ruled from his throne in Klis. Mislav was pious ruler. He built the Church of Saint George and gifted the Byzantine Church of Saint Duja in Split with many fruits and animals from his demesne around Klis. He is chiefly known for signing a treaty with Pietro Tradonico, doge of Venetian Republic in 839. Prince Mislav maintained good relations with the neighbouring coastal Cities of Dalmatia unlike his predecessor, which led to the growth of Croatian sea power as Mislav modelled Croatian ships in the likehood of the Neretvians and Venetians.

Mislav was succeeded by Trpimir I after his death in 845.
