Context_4 : "Duchy of Croatia" (Croatian: "Kneževina Hrvatska" ; also "Duchy of the Croats", "Kneževina Hrvata"; "Dalmatian Croatia", "Dalmatinska Hrvatska"; "Littoral Croatia", "Primorska Hrvatska"; Greek: Χρωβατία, "Chrovatía"), was a medieval Croatian duchy that was established in the former Roman province of Dalmatia. Throughout its time it had several seats, namely Klis, Solin, Knin, Biaći and Nin, comprised the "littoral", or coastal part of today's Croatia and included a big part of the mountainous hinterland. The Duchy was in the center of competition between the Carolingian Empire and the Byzantine Empire for rule over the area. Rivalry with Venice emerged in the first decades of the 9th century and was to continue for the following centuries. Croatia also waged battles with the Bulgarian Empire, with whom the relations improved greatly afterwards, and the Arabs and sought to extend its control over important coastal cities under the rule of Byzantium. Croatia saw periods of vassalage of the Franks or Byzantines and de facto independence until 879 when Croatian Duke Branimir received recognition from Pope John VIII as an independent realm. The ruling dynasty of Croatia was the House of Trpimirović, with interruptions by the House of Domagojević (864–878 and 879–c. 892). The Duchy existed until around 925 when, during the rule of Duke Tomislav, Croatia became a kingdom. Context_5 : Herman IV (c. 1015-July 1038) was the Duke of Swabia (1030–1038).
