Hrvatska nije bila ni u kakvoj uniji sa Madjarskom. Cudi me jeli neko placen ovdje da siri hrvatski nacionalizam ili je to rezultat neznanja?

About non-existent Kingdom of Croatia
In order to get a good understanding of the Croatian history - here are very good references showing clearly that Kingdom of Croatia existed only 16 years and namely from 1075-1091!!!

Sources on Medieval Croatia
Early medieval Croatian history fits the concluding line to the old jingle: the more you study the less you know. When I was and undergraduate studying Balkan history I thought I knew quite a bit about Croatia; but as I study more about Croatia, one by one "facts" that I knew before turn out to be dubious, based on questionable sources or no sources at all. Most of the existing literature in western languages on medieval Croatia is extremely poor; and frequently it is marred by nationalistic bias.
Much of the information about medieval Croatian history comes from later (seveneenth- and eigteenth-century) narrative histories. These were written by enthusiastic people but ciontain a mixture of fact and legend; and since many of the documents they based their works on are now lost, it is extremely difficult to judge wheter their information came from reliable source or not.

He bestowed the new kingdom, together with royal title, on his nephew, Almos, son of Geza I ...
