Epigrafski zapisi hrvatskih vladara do 12. stoljeća su rijetki i uglavnom oskudni u dosadašnjim pronalascima. Ime kneza Višeslava nalazimo na krsnom zdencu nepoznatog porijekla. Knez Mislav se spominje na fragmentu natpisa pronađenog u Begovači, a Trpimirovo ime nalazimo na natpisu pronađenog u Rižinicama pored Solina. Branimir se najčešće spominje, u čak 6 natpisa na tvrdoj podlozi; onim pronađenim u Muću gornjem, Šopotu kraj Benkovca, Ninu, Ždrapnju kod Skradina, Otresu kod Bribira i Lepurima. Muncimir se spominje samo u fragmentu natpisa iz Uzdolja. Zanimljiv natpis je pronađen u Gospi od Otoka, i na njemu se spominju kraljevi Mihajlo i Stjepan, te njihova supruga i majka Jelena. Stjepanov sin, Svetoslav, je spomenut na natpisu iz Kapitula pored Knina, a spomen slavnog kralja Zvonimira je prisutan u darovnici Bašćanske ploče. Usto su još prisutna dva fragmenta koja spominju kneza i kralja, pronađena u Pridrazi kod Novigrada i Donjem polju kraj Šibenika, no imena istih nažalost nisu ostala sačuvana.

Epigraphic records of Croatian rulers from 9th to 12th century are rare and generally sparse. Name of Duke Višeslav was found on a baptistery in Nin, and it is one of the most valuable historical artifacts found on the territory of the medieval Croatian state. Duke Mislav was mentioned on a fragment of the inscription found in Begovača and Trpimir's name was found in Rižinice, near Solin. Duke Branimir is mentioned more than any other Croatian medieval ruler of the time, as much as 6 times; those epigraphic records were found in the sites of Gornji Muć, Šopot, Nin, Ždrapanj, Otres, and Lepuri. Muncimir is mentioned only on a fragment of inscription from Uzdolje. Interesting inscription is found in Gospa od Otoka, and it contains names of Croatian rulers Mihajlo and Stjepan and their wife and mother Jelena. Stjepan's son, Svetoslav, is mentioned on an inscription in Kapitul, near Knin, and the memory of the famous king Zvonimir is present in the grant of the Baška tablet. Also still present are two fragments which mention a Duke and a King, found in Pridraga near Novigrad and Donje Polje near Šibenik, but the names of the said rulers, unfortunately, were not found.
