Mladen II was the eldest son of the “uncrowned king of Croatia” Pavel Shubich , who during the feuds in the Hungarian kingdom at the beginning of the XIV century became virtually independent ruler in Croatia and Bosnia. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is assumed that he was born around 1270.

In his youth, Mladen ran the tribal nest of the Shubich clan - Bribir County. When his uncle Mladen I, assassinated by Pavel Shubich as a ban of Bosnia, was killed in 1304, Pavel Shubich declared himself “Lord of all Bosnia” (“totius Bosniae dominus”) and invaded Bosnia with troops to break down local resistance and restore his power , after which he appointed banana of Bosnia Mladen II.

In 1312, Pavel Shubich died. Karl Robert continued to fight for the throne in the capital of Hungary, and the royal power in the field was purely nominal, so Mladen II simply declared himself the successor of all the titles that his father had. However, the uprising of the feudal lords began, trying to get out of the power of the Shubichs. In 1320, Mladen II was forced to appoint Stephen II Kotromanic , the son of Ban Bosnia Stephen I Kotromanich, deposed by Pavel Shubich, as a ban on Bosnia.

However, the confrontation between the Shubich authorities continued. In 1319, the cities of Sibenik and Trogir rebelled against Mladen II, recognizing the power of Venice . Unable to take the fortified cities, in 1322 Mladen II organized a meeting of the princes, but instead of helping to suppress the uprising, the audience expressed their claims to his rule and formed an anti-Shubichev coalition. Soon, the took , in which the army of the Shubichs was defeated by the army of the coalition of princes under the leadership of the ban of Slavonia, Ivan Babonic.

Shortly after the battle, King Carl Robert arrived in southern Croatia with an army. The possessions of Mladen II were divided between his opponents, and he himself was arrested and taken to Hungary, where he died in 1341.
