During a millennium of the Croatian statehood, Ban (viceroy) and the Croatian Parliament were the holders of the highest power in the country. While the Parliament as a legislative body, apart from a brief interruption during the Kingdom of SCS and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, continues its function even today, the institution of the Croatian ban was abolished by the Yugoslav Federal Constitution in 1946 and by the Constitution of the People's Republic of Croatia in 1947. In this paper, relaying on legal regulations, the work of Croatian ban is analyzed, its appointment and recall, its rights and obligations from the period of Croatian kings of the noble line, through the Arpads, Angevins, and Habsburgs. The changes in legal regulations are examined in this study that were introduced by the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement (Leg. Article I. from 1868), i.e., the revision of the settlement (Leg. Article XXXIV. from 1873). Since Croatia was in a state alliance with Hungary from 1102 to 1918, the Croatian ban is also an institution of Hungarian constitutional history, and therefore will be presented through that prism.
