Gojčo was the Ban of Croatia from c.1060 to c.1070. He succeeded Stjepan Praska as ban. He is mentioned in royal charters from 1060-1062 and probably is one of unmentioned ban's in royal charter of 1069.[1]
Some historians identified him to the brother of king Peter Krešimir IV of Croatia, who was rumored to have murdered his brother Gojslav,[2] but other historians reject such identification.[1]
He was succeeded by Zvonimir, who also later became king.[1]
