Zvonimir the good, king of the Croats

Joja Ricov

Sažetak

In commemoration of the nine hundredth anniversary of the death of King Zvonimir (1089), the political conditions of Croatia and Europe during his reign are discussed in a poetic style and the king's genealogy is presented. It is known that Zvonimir's crown was sent by Pope Gregory VII and delivered by Abbot Gebizon who presided at his coronation in 1076. This had great significance in consolidating King Zvonimir's political power and extending his kingdom from the Drava River to the Adriatic Sea. One of Zvonimir's accomplishments was to lend his support to clerical Glagolithic traditions. He is the first Croatian king whose name has come down to us as written in the ancient Slavic alphabet and language.
