Michael Krešimir II of Croatia

Michael Krešimir II (, ), called the Great, was King of Croatia from 949 until his death in 969. He was a member of the Trpimirović dynasty. Michael Krešimir II was a son of Krešimir I and the younger brother of Miroslav, who preceded him as King of Croatia in 945.

Krešimir was brought to the throne by the powerful Ban Pribina, who rebelled against the former king Miroslav for having his jurisdiction restrained from some areas. The civil war eventually ended with Miroslav's death in 949 and the reign of Mihajlo began, restoring realm's glory. certain Crescimirus of White Croatia (usually identified with Krešimir II), ravaged the Bosnian župas Uskoplje, Luka and Pliva (anachronism), and eventually conquered the whole region of Bosnia. The Bosnian ban fled to Hungary, after realizing he couldn't fight back and Michael established full control. His son Stjepan (would be actual son Stephen Držislav) succeeded him in ruling of Croatia and Bosnia. Helen built the royal family mausoleum in Salona (in today's Solin) where, at the end of the 19th century, an inscription of her grave was found and translated, bearing her title "Queen".
