Ban was a title used in some states in central and south-eastern Europe between the 9th century and the 20th century. The title was first used in the historical Kingdom of Hungary and its dependencies and then in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between 1929 and 1941. The meaning of the title changed with time — the position of a ban can be compared to that of a viceroy or a duke, but neither is accurate for all historical bans. The territory ruled by a ban was called banat or banovina, often transcribed to English as banate, bannat etc. (In the context of property law, title refers to ownership or documents of ownership; see title (property). ...

Ban was the title of province administrators in the medieval Croatian state and in the kingdom of Hungary, since the 9th century. In Hungary, each of the provinces was called banat; the Croatian word was banovina.

When Croatia became a part of the Hungarian kingdom in the 12th century, the title of ban acquired the meaning of viceroy because the bans were appointed by the king, though the banate of Croatia was rarely referred to as a banat. Croatia was governed by the viceroy ban as a whole between ca. 970 and 1225, when it was split into Slavonia and Croatia-Dalmatia. Two different bans were occasionally appointed until 1345/1476, when the institution of a single ban was resumed, and lasted until 1918.

When the medieval Bosnian state achieved some independence in the 12th century, its rulers were also called bans, and their territory banovina, likely because of the similar suzerain status that it had towards the king of Hungary. Nevertheless, the Bosnian bans weren't viceroys in the sense they were appointed by the king. Sometimes their titles are translated as dukes. Later in the 13th century they gradually achieved more independence (though in some periods they were still vassals) and eventually proclaimed themselves kings in the late 14th century. The term duke is a title of nobility which refers to the sovereign male ruler of a Continental European duchy, to a nobleman of the highest grade of the British peerage, or to the highest rank of nobility in various other European countries, including Spain and France (in Italy, principe...
