Borna, dux Guduscanorum - Local Groups and Imperial Authority on the Carolingian Southeastern Frontier

The territories of the former Roman province of Dalmatia came under Frankish authority at the beginning of the 9th century and remained strongly in the focus of their interest for the following two decades. During that time the written sources also record certain Guduscani, led by their duke Borna. They are the first known "narrower" collective identity in the Dalmatian hinterland since Late Antiquity, contrary to the until then usually mentioned larger collective identity groups – Dalmatians, Romans, Slavs. Focusing on their and Borna's relationship with the Carolingian Empire, this paper discusses various topics regarding this group, and also the political and social transformations of the time on the Carolingian southeastern frontier.
