King of Croatia
1050 CE to 1097 CE
Petar Svačić is the last native king (c. 1093–1097) of Croatia.
It is assumed that he began as a ban serving under king Demetrius Zvonimir of Croatia and was then elected king by the Croatian feudal lords in 1093.
Petar's seat of power is based in Knin.
His rule is marked by a struggle for control of the country with Hungary.
During his reign he is able to expel Álmos of Hungary from Slavonia, and unite Croatia to the river Drava.
According to Juraj Utješinović, alias Frater Georgius, the first Croatian cardinal, Petar was born in Kamičak (above river Krka canyon), Croatia.
