Zdeslav was a Prince of Dalmatian Croatia in 864 and again in 878–879. He was from the House of Trpimirović.[1]

[edit] Biography Zdeslav was a son of Trpimir I. After his father death in 864, an uprising was raised by a powerful Croatian nobleman from Knin - Domagoj, and Zdeslav was exiled with his brothers, Petar and Muncimir to Constantinople.[2] Zdeslav deposed Domagoj's sons in 878 with the help of the Byzantines. He acknowledge the supreme rule of Byzantine Emperor Basil I. In 879, Zdeslav was killed near Knin in an uprising led by Branimir, a relative of Domagoj, instigated by the Roman Pope fearing Byzantine power.[1]

=================================================================================

Zdeslav je bio knez Primorske Hrvatske od 878. do 879, a pripadao je rodu Trpimirovića.

Knez Zdeslav se u doba Domagojeve vlasti sklonio u Carigrad kako bi se spasio, a dvije godine nakon Domagojeve smrti dospijeva na prijestolje uz pomoć bizantskog cara Bazilija I., tako postavši prvim hrvatskim vladarom kojeg je Bizant postavio na prijestolje.

Već 879. papa Ivan VIII. piše pismo naslovljeno: „Ljubljenom sinu Zdeslavu, slavnom banu Sklavina“ (Dilecto filio Sedesclavo, glorioso comiti Sclavorum). Čini se da je Zdeslav vladao u ovisnosti od Bizanta, a gradovi Teme Dalmacije su plaćali njemu porez koji su dotada plaćali Bizantu (samo je Dubrovnik plaćao danak Zahumljanima i Travunjanima). Bilo je to i vrijeme crkvenoga raskola, dok je u carigradski patrijarh bio Focije, pa je približavanje Bizantu značilo i udaljavanje od pape.

Vlast Zdeslavova prestaje već 879., kad ga ubija Branimir i preuzima vlast.
