The rise of the Nelipić family's power was harmonized with the fall of the Šubić family's influence, with whom the Nelipić family continued to have tense relations and frequent skirmishes with during the 1330s.[1] When George II Šubić died between 1328 and 1330, he was succeeded by his son Mladen III Šubić.[1] Pressure from Ivan Nelipić, including his capture of Ostrovica and various lesser Šubić places, led Mladen III and his uncle Paul II to make peace with the Nelipić family.[1] There is an alternative opinion, that Nelipić family was of Vlach origin.[2]
