  • Story: Otto

    Otto (died 4 November 1004), called Otto of Worms, was duke of Carinthia from 978 to 985 and again from 1002 until his death.<br><br>The only son of Conrad the Red, Duke of Lotharingia and Liutgarde, daughter of Emperor Otto and Edith. Otto I was appointed duke of Carinthia and margrave of Verona when Henry I, Duke of Carinthia, had unsuccessfully rebelled against the king during the War of the Three Henries and was deposed. In 985 he lost his duchy, but could retain the title of duke as &quot;duke of Worms&quot;. After the death of the margrave, Otto received the March of Verona back. In 1002, Otto was a candidate for king of the Holy Roman Empire; but he withdrew and received the Duchy of Carinthia from the newly elected king Henry II, the former duke, in return. He was succeeded as duke by his son, Conrad.<!--Session data-->

  • Story: Kärnten

    The March of Carinthia was a frontier district (march) of the Carolingian Empire created in 889. Before it was a march, it had been a principality or duchy ruled by native-born Slavic (or semi-Slavic) princes at first independently and then under Bavarian and subsequently Frankish suzerainty. The realm was divided into counties which, after the succession of the Carinthian duke to the East Frankish throne, were united in the hands of a single authority as a march of defence against the Slavs of Pannonian Croatia. When the march of Carinthia was raised into a Duchy in 976, a new Carinthian march (that is, a march defending the Carinthian duchy) was created. It became the later March of Styria.<br><br>The Duchy of Carinthia (German: Herzogtum K&auml;rnten; Slovene: Vojvodina Koro&scaron;ka) was a duchy located in southern Austria and parts of northern Slovenia. It was part of the Holy Roman Empire from 976 until the dissolution of the Empire in 1806<!--Session data-->
