Zvonimir's claims were however ignored by the Croatian diet who selected one Slavac, the duke of Neretva, instead.
Zvonimir is remembered for the fact he aligned the kingdom with the Papal state, and whilst he wasn't the first Croat ruler to cooperate with the Pope, the association between the church and the monarchy in the national memory dates from this time.
Zvonimir's reign is therefore notable because it demonstrates the legacy of these Croatian kings, that is the strong connection between Croatia and the Catholic Church.

Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir dobro je procjenio tadašnju vanjskopolitičku situaciju: položaj Bizanta čija je moć slabila i Mlečana koji su se pridružili protivnicima sve jačeg papinstva.
Novi kralj Dmitar Zvonimir obećao je Svetoj Stolici, da će: pomagati vjersku obnovu i braniti Crkvu, da će papi davati godišnji dar u novcu, da će paziti da se Crkvi daju prvine i desetine, da će spriječavati prodaju ljudi, štititi siromahe, udovice i siročad.
Tako je kralj Zvonimir, kao i neki drugi europski vladari, prihvaćanjem papinske političke doktrine, podržavanjem reformnog pokreta, te pružanjem jamstva crkvenim interesima u Hrvatskoj i obećanjem brige o vjerskom i obiteljskom životu, osigurao politički i obrambeni savez sa Svetom Stolicom, državnopravno priznanje Kraljevine Hrvatske (regnum Dalmatiae et Chroatiae) i njen stabilan međunarodni položaj.
