Written two generations later by a Split churchman born about 1200. For the years around 1200 it tells of Archbishop Bernard of Perugia's election to Split in 1200, the war between King Emeric of Hungary and his brother Duke Andrew, who held Croatia and Dalmatia, the Dalmatian cities under Hungarian lordship, Zadar before the Venetian sack of 1202, and the first moves against heresy in Bosnia and Split. Secondhand for 1200 but the only Dalmatian narrative, with a city patrician's prejudices.
