The rule of Stephen II over Croatia …
Years: 1093 - 1093
The rule of Stephen II over Croatia had been relatively ineffectual and lasted less than two years.
He spent most of this time in the tranquility of the monastery of Sv.
Stjepan pod Borovima (St. Stephen beneath the Pines) near Split.
Zvonimir's widow, Queen Jelena, reportedly plots the inheritance of the Croatian Crown for her brother, King Ladislaus I of Hungary.
Stephen II had died peacefully in December 1090, or at the beginning of 1091, without leaving an heir.
War and unrest had broken out in Croatia shortly afterward, with the southern nobility electing Petar Svačić as King of Croatia in 1093, immediately entering into conflict with the Hungarian king Ladislaus.
