Vladislav^[3] or Ladislas^[4] (Latin: Ladasclavus; fl. 821)^[5] was the Duke of Croatia. In sources he is mentioned as the Duke of Dalmatia and Liburnia (dux Dalmatiae atque Liburnae),^[1] having succeeded his uncle Borna, a Frankish vassal.^[6] He is mentioned only in the 9th-century Royal Frankish Annals, regarding year 821. 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.
