Information
has glosseng: The Principality of Krk was a semi-independent principality on the Croatian-Adriatic island of Krk that existed from 1451 to 1480 during the late middle ages. Previous to the principalitys foundation, Krk and the surrounding lands were ruled by several Frankopan princes. In 1451, Prince Ivan VII, who ruled parts of Krk and parts of the nearby mainland, in a dispute with his brother, traded all his land on the mainland for his brothers land on the rest of the island, forming a Krk under the single ruler Ivan VII. During Ivans reign (1451–1480) many religious structures and monuments were formed, improving the towns on the island greatly. The islands semi-independence came to an end when the Republic of Venice invaded in 1480, when they tricked Ivan VII into leaving the island.
