Trpimir II

Trpimir II was an alleged King of Croatia from 928 to 935.^[1] He was presumably from the Trpimirović dynasty, however, he's not mentioned in historical sources, being a historiographical invention.^[2][3][4]

In the old chronology (per Ferdo Šišić), Trpimir II would be the son of Duke Muncimir and younger brother of King Tomislav.^[5] De Administrando Imperio mentions that in the time of Terpimer (whose identity is disputed to be Trpimir I from the 9th century, or Trpimir II), the Duchy or Kingdom of Croatia had a significant merchant fleet that traded across the entire Adriatic Sea. The mentioned Terpimer was succeded by his son Krešimir I.^[2][6]
