Croatian nobility refers to the noble families of Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmatia, Istria and Republic of Ragusa.

[edit] General history of Croatian nobility

Croatian nobility titles mostly were granted by the kings of Croatia, later kings of Hungary (also kings of Croatia). In Dalmatia and Istria several Venetian titles were granted and during the French occupation, French titles were granted.

Following the collapse of Austria-Hungary following World War I, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) stopped giving hereditary titles.

Between 1941-1943 King Tomislav II of the Independent State of Croatia granted about 60 titles of duke, marquess, count, viscount and baron but mostly to non-citizens.
