Croatian nobleman Domald has actively participated in the political life of Croatia since the beginning of the 13th century. Domald is mentioned for the first time as a Count of Šibenik in 1200. The rise of Domald begins when he conquers the Venetian fortress of St. Michael on the island of Ugljan and rebuilds Zadar destroyed by the Venetians and the Crusaders in 1202. Because of these merits Zadar gave him the title of Count in 1203. In 1207 he became the Count of Split and enjoys the support of the Hungarian-Croat king. He lost the title for the first time in 1221, after the conflict with the king, he also lost other estates, but in his hands remained an important fort of Klis. His power was questioned when the Šubići of Bribir became prominent. In 1229 he was once again a Count of Split after using internal conflicts in the city. After that, he will fight Prince Koloman andthe Šubići of Bribir, and in that conflict will be defeated. In 1235 he became Count of Split for the third time but remained in power for only two years when he was inherited by Marko Bribirski. After that, Domald's power was crushed and he was last mentioned in 1243 when he changed his Pantana mills for a house in Trogir.
