Snačić family

The Snačić family, often called Svačić, was a Croatian noble family and one of the twelve noble tribes of the Kingdom of Croatia. They had estates in the Cetina area. Among the oldest known members of the family is Petar Svačić, who is very likely to have been the last Croatian king of Croatian descent.

A prominent member of the tribe, in the first half of the 14th century, was Nelipac II (generationis Suadcich), the head of the Nelipić family of Cetina, which is a cadet branch of the Snačić family. In addition to this branch, there is information from 1343 on a certain Gojslav, son of a person called Prodi de Saucichorum in the Klis County. Some historians also assume that nobelman Domald of Sidraga (c. 1160–1243) was a member of the family, but this cannot be reliably proven. In all likelihood, the Snačić family went extinct patrilineally after the death of Ban Ivaniš Nelipić in 1435.[1]
