Pacta Conventa (Croatia)
Pacta conventa (Latin for "agreed accords") was an agreement concluded between King Coloman of Hungary and the Croatian nobility in 1102 or afterwards, defining the status of Croatia in the union with Hungary. The earliest manuscript of the document is of the fourteenth century, so some historians believe it is likely a forgery. The document titled ''Pacta conventa'' or ''Qualiter'' (the first word in the document) was found in a Trogir library. Until the 19th century it was considered that it dated to 1102. However, historians today hold that it is not an authentic document from 1102 and likely a forgery from the 14th century, but that the contents of the Pacta Conventa still correspond to the political situation of that time in Croatia.Pál Engel''Realm of St. Stephen: A History of Medieval Hungary'' 2005, p. 35-36Bárány, Attila (2012).

Kukar Family
The Kukar family () was one of the twelve noble tribes of the Kingdom of Croatia, mentioned in the Pacta conventa and Supetar Cartulary. Etymology The etymological derivation is unknown. In the scholarship, it has been related to the personal name of White Croat Kloukas, one of the seven brothers and sisters who led the Croatian tribes during their migration to present-day Croatia according to ''De Administrando Imperio'' (10th century).

Šubić Family
The Šubić family was one of the Twelve noble tribes of Croatia and a great noble house which constituted Croatian statehood in the Middle Ages. They held the county of Bribir (''Varvaria'') in inland Dalmatia. From them branched prominent Zrinski family. History Origins Today Bribir is an archaeological site in inland Dalmatia. It is located on a flat hill about fifteen kilometres northwest of Skradin, near the old Zadar road which goes through Benkovac. Under the steep rocks of its western side there is the source of the Bribirčica stream and from here the rich and fertile Bribir-Ostrovica field spreads out. The hill of Bribir, an ideal place to control the surrounding territory, was a perfect area to inhabit. The one who held it had control over all roads and approaches from the sea to the hinterland, making it an ideal settlement. During the Roman period Bribir, known as Varvaria, had the status of ''municipium'' and was the centre of one of the fourteen Liburnian counti ...

Snačić Family
The Snačić family, sometimes called Svačić and Svadčić, was one of the twelve noble tribes of Croatia, mentioned in the Pacta conventa and Supetar Cartulary. Among the oldest known members of the family is Petar Snačić, who is very likely to have been the last Croatian king of Croatian descent. History The earliest possible known ancestor of the ''genus'' is župan Juraj Snačić, one of the twelve noblemen mentioned in Pacta conventa (1102). According to Supetar Cartulary addendum, the ban in the Kingdom of Croatia during the rule of Croatian king Demetrius Zvonimir was Petar Snačić, who is often related to last Croatian king Petar Snačić. Information about the family is scarce. In 1343 was recorded certain Gojslav, son of a person called ''Prodi de Saucichorum'' in the Klis županija.

Poletčić Family
The Poletčić family (''Politchorum'', ''Poletchis'', ''Polecich''), also known as Polečić or Poličić, was one of the twelve noble tribes of the Kingdom of Croatia, mentioned in the Pacta conventa. They until the 15th century had estates in the region of Lika, around Perušić, and citizen status in the city of Zadar. History The earliest possible known ancestor of the ''genus'' is župan Pribislav Poletčić (''Pribislauus de genere Politchorum''), one of the twelve noblemen mentioned in Pacta conventa (1102), which is probably a mid-14th-century forgery. In the region of Lika, they had estates South-East of Perušić (Čelopeci, Kučani, Tri Vasi, Sokolci) in the former Buška županija (county). In 1285 they had an estate in the village of Miljača, today around Zemunik Gornji in the Zadar County.

Mogorović Family
The Mogorović family was one of the twelve noble tribes of the Kingdom of Croatia, mentioned in the Pacta conventa and Supetar Cartulary. They were initially mentioned in the 12th and 14th centuries in the hinterland of Biograd na Moru and Zadar in Dalmatia, and since the 13th century in the region of Lika, where they branched into most prominently Disislavić noble family, besides being divided into other fourteen noble branches by 15th and 16th century. As experienced warriors, they actively participated in the Croatian–Ottoman wars. Direct descendants of the tribe live even today in Croatia. Etymology The family name Mogor(-ović) probably derives from a patronymic Mogor or Mohor, which is a Slavic variation of the name of St. Hermagoras of Aquileia. It means "of Mogor". From such a form besides surname Mogorović also derive common Croatian patronyms from Istria: Mohor, Mohorić, Mohorac, Mohorović, Mohorčić, and Mohorovičić.
