About this person

Wikipedia Summary

Ljudevit or Liudewit, often also Ljudevit Posavski, was the Duke of the Slavs in Lower Pannonia from 810 to 823. The capital of his realm was in Sisak. As the ruler of the Pannonian Slavs, he led a resistance to Frankish domination. Having lost the war against the Franks, who were aided by Borna duke of Guduscani, Dalmatia and Liburnia, Ljudevit fled first to an unknown Serbian župa and killed the presiding Serbian župan there. He then fled to the Dalmatian duke Ljudemisl, who then killed him.
