Ivan Nelipić

Ivan Nelipić (died 1344) was a Croatian nobleman and Duke of Knin from the Nelipić family. A voivode of Mladen II Šubić, he turned against his lord and helped overthrow him at the Battle of Bliska in 1322.

Expelling the garrison from Knin, he made the city his seat. Between 1322 and 1344 he was the most powerful magnate in Croatia. He repelled King Charles I Robert's expeditions and defied Hungarian attempts to subdue him until his death in 1344; royal authority was re-established in Croatia the following year.
