Michael Krešimir II (926 – c. 965)- a new perspective on his reign
Luka Đaković
Abstract
In this paper, the author places the reign of Michael Krešimir II within the period from 926 to approximately 965 based on a reinterpretation of the historical sources. Such a chronological adjustment necessarily requires a renewed reading of events of considerable importance for the early medieval history of the eastern Adriatic coast, including the attack on Siponto in 926 and the Croatian–Bulgarian war. In addition, the author examines the relationship between King Michael Krešimir II and the
Dalmatian cities and addresses the question of the symbolic importance of ancient Salona for the Croatian king.
