Triune Kingdom

All three Croatian kingdoms were represented in the coat of arms of the Triune Kingdom.

The Triune Kingdom (Croatian: Trojedna kraljevina) was a formal Croatian entity within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[1] Leaders of the 19th century Illyrian movement maintained this kingdom for most of the second millennium, where it consisted of three Croatian realms that formed the United Triune Kingdom. [1] Despite their political and administrative separation, the three realms were united under one king.

Before 1848, the Croatians made claims on large parts of territory that were contested within the monarchy by both the Hungarians and the Vienna Court War Council, and outside the monarchy by the Ottoman Empire.[2] During the Revolutions of 1848, the notion of an independent Triune Kingdom, which would be the territory of the Croatian cultural and political union, was used by proponents of Croatian nationalism.[3] Political representatives of Croatia advocated the notion with the Emperor and demanded the unification of all of the three kingdoms.[4][5][6]

Following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 and the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868, the Hungarian claims on Slavonia and the Austrian claims on the Military Frontier were formally relinquished, but there was no change in the status of Dalmatia.[7][8] In article 1 of the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868, the territory known as Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen was officially defined as "a state union of the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdoms of Dalmatia, Croatia and Slavonia".

In 1874, Ivan Kukuljević Sakcinski published various archival funds and collections in his work Codex Diplomaticus,[9][10] which is now kept in the Croatian State Archives, demonstrating documents from all periods that speak of the Kingdom of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia consisting of:

By the end of the 19th century, the Triune Kingdom was the primary goal of the Independent People's Party,[11][12] as well as the People's Party in Dalmatia.[13]

The specific term "Triune Kingdom of Dalmatia, Croatia and Slavonia" was used for the Medieval Croatian Kingdom, and the first centuries of the Habsburg Kingdom of Croatia, up to the early 19th century. The term "Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia" was used for both the late period (first half of the 19th century) of the Habsburg Kingdom of Croatia,[1] and its successor the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.[14][15] The order of mentioning Dalmatia was a contentious issue, as it was ordered differently in the Croatian and Hungarian language versions of the 1868 Settlement.[16]
