John of Palisna

John of Palisna (, ) (? – 23 March 1391) was a Croatian knight and warrior, prior of Vrana, and Ban of Croatia.

Prior of Vrana It is unclear when John of Palisna became prior of Vrana. In May 1381 he was already prior, because the citizens of Zadar were complaining about him to the King of Hungary and Croatia.

Plot against Elizabeth John of Palisna opposed the rule of Elizabeth of Bosnia. He was mainly opposed to the centralizing policy which Elizabeth's husband had enforced. He hoped to regain local independence by rising against Elizabeth. Elizabeth's own first cousin, King Tvrtko, with whom she was raised, decided to take advantage of Louis' death and Elizabeth's unpopularity by trying to recover the Dalmatian lands he had lost to Louis in 1357. John of Palisna asked Tvrtko for help but was ultimately defeated by Elizabeth's army and forced to flee to Bosnia.
