Višeslav was one of the first dukes (Croatian: knez) in Duchy of Dalmatia.[1]
He ruled with the support of the Pope and Byzantium. The Slavs warred against the Franks during his rule and avoided defeat until 803, a year after his death. During the siege of Trsat in the autumn of 799 between the defending forces under his leadership and the invading Frankish army of the Carolingian Empire, the Frankish commander Eric of Friuli was killed.[2][3] Ultimately, his duchy did accept Frankish overlordship through the Pax Nicephori.
Višeslav left behind a baptismal font (Croatian: Višeslavova krstionica), surviving to this day, which remains an important symbol of early Croatian history and the transition of the people to Christianity. The inscription is in [Latin]] and mentions the name of a priest named Jovan ("Ivan") who baptized people during the "time of Duke Višeslav" in the part of Jovan Krstitelj. Viseslav's baptismal font is still a topic of controversy among historians in Croatia, because its authenticity has never been confirmed. That is why most prominent Croatian historians refuse to accept an obvious forgery, such as Viselav's baptismal certificate. Because what is written on it does not correspond to the context and historical circumstances, at that time, but dates back several centuries later. Also, no foreign historical source has ever confirmed that there was a ruler in that area among the Slavs, named Viselav? Except for the Serbian prince Viselav, who is confirmed in historiography. As one known Viselav among the Slavs.[4]
