John Albeni (ban)
John Albeni de Alben et Medve ( hr, Ivan Alben; died after 15 August 1420) was a Hungarian noble of German descent, who served as Ban of Croatia and Dalmatia between May 1414 and April 1419. The family came into Hungary with Sigismund of Luxembourg. He was a son of Rudolf Albeni. He had five brothers, including John, Sr., Peter and Henry, and three sisters. He had no children. His appointment to the position of ban (viceroy) was due to his influential uncle, bishop of Zagreb Eberhard Albeni. John took part in the Council of Constance (1414–1415). After his uncle's death he lost his office and was replaced by Ivan Nelipčić. References * Markó, László: A magyar állam főméltóságai Szent Istvántól napjainkig – Életrajzi Lexikon ''p. 436.''

In the 18th century, Croatian bans eventually became the chief government officials in Croatia. They were at the head of the Ban's Government, effectively the first prime ministers of Croatia. The institution of ban persisted until the first half of the 20th century, when it was officially superseded in function by that of a parliamentary prime minister.
