White Croats
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Croats is the designation for one group of Slavic (Croatian) tribes which migrated to Dalmatia (the coastal part of today's Croatia) as part of the migration of the Croats in 610-641 A.D. Their homeland, defined by Edward Gibbon as "the inland regions of Silesia and Lesser Poland", has occasionally been referred to as White Croatia.
The White Croats should not be conflated with the eponymous East Slavic tribe, which, according to the Russian Primary Chronicle, inhabited the vicinity of Przemyśl in the 10th and 11th centuries. They were the neighbours of the Lędzianie.
