Years: 358BCE - 358BCE
Bardylis, ruler of Dardania, had assumed control of much of the region of present-day Macedonia in 359 after killing Macedon’s king Perdiccas III.
After the death of Bardylis in the following year, Grabos becomes the most powerful Illyrian king.
Bardyllis had a son named Cleitus the Illyrian, a daughter named Bircenna, and a grandson named Bardyllis II.
The Illyrian kingdom has become a formidable local power.
Philip defeats the Illyrians decisively in 358 BCE, however, in a battle that already suggests a master of war, and assumes control of their territory as far as Lake Ohrid.
