Demetrius Zvonimir

d. 1089 · 11th century · Also known as Dmitar Zvonimir

Demetrius Zvonimir was king of Croatia from 1076 to 1089, having earlier been ban of Slavonia. He was crowned at Solin in 1076 by a legate of Pope Gregory VII, swearing loyalty to the papacy. His death without an heir led to a succession struggle in which Ladislaus I of Hungary, brother of his wife Helen, intervened, ending in the union of Croatia with Hungary in 1102.
