Abstract
This paper presents a novel perspective on the chronology of Croatian rulers in the 9th and 10th centuries, which is based on a different and fresh interpretation of historical sources, with a primary focus on Porphyrogenitus’
notable work “De Administrando Imperio.” The pivotal thesis presented in this work posits that Chapter 31 of “De Administrando Imperio” pertains to the 9th century. Consequently, this suggests to place certain Croatian rulers, traditionally assigned to the 10th century, now into the 9th century. As a result, our revised chronology prompts are-evaluation of specific events (such as the Croatian-Bulgarian war in the 10th century), which we have associated with one ruler so far, but
now link to another ruler instead.
