Sažetak
The author uses contemporary Frankish sources and the results of archaeological research to illustrate the political currents of the first half of the ninth century that framed the development of the Croatian dukedom (kneževina). He proposes a new reading for a passage from the Annales regni Francorum referring to Borna, Croatian duke (knez) and Frankish vassal. This new reading allows the reinterpretation of the first stages of development of the dukedom in the sense that Duke Borna expanded his territory by making use of the fighting that followed the insurrection of his neighbour Ljudevit, Duke of Pannonia Inferior. The author also surveys the typology and characteristics of societies that developed along the limes of the Carolingian Empire, and places in this context the further development and internal processes of integration in the Croatian dukedom.
