Borna had died between January and October 821,^[1] during a war against Frankish rebel Ljudevit, Duke of Pannonian Croatia.^[4] Borna's nephew (by his sister)^[2] Vladislav succeeded him, by the people's will and emperor's approval.^[4] Vladislav ruled from Nin as a loyal vassal of the Frankish Emperor Lothair I.^{[citation needed]} In historiography, his realm has been referred to as Dalmatian Croatia or Littoral Croatia, where he was succeeded by Duke Mislav.
