editHe was the oldest son of Krešimir I and succeeded him as king in 945. During his reign, Croatia suffered a civil war and the Croatian navy was reduced to only 30 ships, while the infantry and cavalry also had losses.[2] Miroslav was finally killed by Pribina, Ban of Croatia in 949, and his younger brother, Michael Krešimir II, succeeded him as king.
