Heraclius invites the Croats, a Slavic tribe…
616 CE to 627 CE
Heraclius invites the Croats, a Slavic tribe living in Galicia, Silesia, and Bohemia, to settle in Illyricum.
They are given the land between the Drava River and the Adriatic Sea for the purpose of ridding the country of Avars.
The Serbs are allowed to move from their homeland north of the Carpathians to a territory east of the Croats.
Heraclius asks Pope Honorius I to send missionaries to both groups.
