Petar Snačić was the last native king of Croatia, chosen by Croatian nobles in 1093 in opposition to the Hungarian claim to the throne. He ruled from Knin and resisted the forces of Coloman of Hungary, falling at the Battle of Gvozd Mountain in 1097. His death opened the way for Coloman's coronation as king of Croatia in 1102.
