Salona was the largest and most important city of Dalmatia in late antiquity. In the 7th century, Slavs and Avars arrived to the outskirts of the city, but neither conquered nor destroyed it, although older historiography and reports from different sources may claim otherwise. Nonetheless, Salona was still collapsing from the inside, leaving behind a power void in the region. Split and Zadar soon filled the void, Split being the ecclesiastical centre and the rulers of Zadar having temporal power. The cities were part of the same state for a while, first the Byzantine and then the Hungarian-Croatian. Venetians, who wanted to rule over Dalmatia, caused a stir in the region. Its unity was destroyed with the establishment of the archdiocese of Zadar. Split and Zadar found themselves each on their own side of the border between two medieval states.

According to Life od Constantine, before they went to the lands of the Slavs, they went to Crimea, to preach their true faith to the Khazars. Considering historical facts however, this seems unlikely. It is more likely that Life of Constantine was adapted from previous happenings, the peace treaty with the Muslims a century earlier and the actual conversion of Khazars to Judaism at the end of the 8th century or in the beginning of the 9th century.

This put him in a position from which he could strengthen and expand the Frankish state and transform it into the official protector of Christendom. One of his first steps to accomplish this was the beginning of the war with the Saxons, which effectively lasted over half a century. Charlemagne’s imperial coronation in 800 played an important role in his conquest of the Saxons. Despite their subjugation, the Saxons continued to revolt, but by the middle of the 9th century had already successfully integrated into Frankish society and did not cause any more trouble to the empire.

Over the course of the next few centuries, people of Zadar were trying to free themselves from Venetian suzerainty because of economic and political repression. Their efforts peaked in the 14th century with the Siege of Zadar and the well-known Treaty of Zadar. The Treaty made Zadar a subject to the King of Hungary, and marked an era of its highest autonomy under any foreign ruler. The attempt was put to an end with the selling of Dalmatia in 1409.
