Narentine rulers
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Narentines. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2015. |
The South Slavic realm of the Narentines,[1] a fierce tribe living off piracy,[1] had several recorded rulers in the 9th century:
- Drosaico[A] was a župan[2] (duke) of the Narentines or Marians (chief, lord, count, duke)[B] in ca. 836[3] to after 839.[4] The Narentines were at the time (823) subordinate to the Serbian Principality.[2] In ca 839 Doge of Venice Pietro Tradonico signed peace with Mislav of Croatia,[5] he then headed with a large fleet towards the Narentines.
- Ljudislav (Liuditus sclavus or Liudisclav), possibly a co-ruler, successor, or the same person as Drosaico,[6] had the title of Narentanorum princeps.[7] He allegedly waged a successful naval battle against the Doge Pietro Tradonico, who lost some hundred people, in ca. 840.[6] The Narentines and Venetians subsequently made peace, and Drosaico signed a treaty at the islands, that would stop the piracy against the Republic of Venice.[1]
- Under the leadership of Uneslaf and Diodur (Uneslav and Diodor), Narentines plundered the Venetian borders shortly thereafter.[8]
