Mladen III Šubić (Croatian: Mladen III. Šubić) (c. 1315 – Trogir, 1 May 1348) was a member of the Croatian Šubić noble family, who ruled from Klis Fortress. He was in possession of Klis, Omiš and Skradin.[1]

Family Connections

Mladen III Šubić was (probably oldest) son of Juraj II Šubić and grandson of Pavao I Šubić Bribirski, who was the most powerful Croatian noble at the end of the 13th century and beginning of the 14th century.

Mladen III Šubić had two children.

Ruler

Mladen III ruled from Klis Fortress from 1330–1348, and was named ("shield of the Croats") by the people. He was the famous Šubić from Klis, where he married his sister Jelena Šubić (died c. 1378) to Regent of Bosnia Vladislav Kotromanić. Jelena Šubić gave birth to the first Bosnian King Tvrtko I. However, Mladen III Šubić regardless of the diplomatic success could not save Šubić family from fall, because he was almost only one left to defend it. Before the death he married Serbian Jelena, half-sister of the Serbian ruler Dušan, but even this relationship couldn't help Šubić's family.

Dux Mladen III Šubić died in 1348, from the plague, and is buried in the Cathedral of St. Lawrence in Trogir.
