White Croatia (also Chrobatia) is an ill-defined area, said to lie somewhere in Central Europe, near Bavaria, beyond Hungary, and adjacent to the Frankish Empire"[1] from which the White Croats crossed the Carpathians and migrated in the 7th century into Dalmatia (modern-day Croatia). The area to the west from White Croatia was known as White Serbia.
