Trpimir I (Croatian pronunciation:

Frankish Emperor Lothair I
, Trpimir used Frankish-Byzantine conflicts to rule on his own.

Reign

Duchy of Croatia around 850
Latin charter of Duke Trpimir, dated to the year 852

Trpimir succeeded Croatia's Duke

Croatians coexisted peacefully after that time.[1]

On 4 March 852 Trpimir issued a charter in

Benedictins into Croatia.[4][9] On a gable arch from an altar screen of the Rižinice monastery
, carved in stone, stands a text with the duke's name and title:

PRO DVCE TREPIME[RO... ...PRECE]S CHR[IST]O SV[B]MIT[TATIS ET INCLINATA HABE]TE COLA TERME[NTES...]

He also likely built a church in Kapitul, in the vicinity of Knin castle, where his name is recorded from archaeological remains.

Trpimir undertook a

Cividale together with his son Peter, which was recorded in the Evangelistary of Cividale, where he is titled as dominus (domno).[10][11][12][13]

The Saxon theologian Gottschalk of Orbais was at Trpimir's court between 846 and 848, after leaving Venice and before moving to Bulgaria, and his work De Trina deitate is an important source for Trpimir's reign. He describes Trpimir's accomplishments and his victory over a Byzantine patricius in 846, which Gottschalk connected with his theory of predestination.[4] Trpimir was a proclaimed rex Sclavorum as a token of admiration from Gottschalk, which is also a sign of his independent rule.

Descendants

The end of Trpimir's reign remains vaguely distinctive, just like the sequence of his successors. He had three sons: Peter,

Muncimir, since in a charter dated to 892, in the time of Duke Muncimir's rule, Muncimir stated that "he returned to his fathers throne,"[16] which was usurped by Branimir. Trpimir was succeeded in around 864 either by his son Zdeslav, who was shortly after deposed by Domagoj,[17] or directly by Domagoj who forced Trpimir's sons to flee to Constantinople
.
