 Over the centuries, the name 'Carinthia' ("Kärnten") gradually replaced former 'Carantania'.The realm of the Carinthian dukes initially comprised a vast territory including the marches of Styria ("marchia Carantana"), Carniola and Istria, they also ruled over the Italian March of Verona in the south.Nevertheless, Henry the Younger was the first and also the last Luitpolding duke; as he chose to join the unsuccessful War of the Three Henries against Emperor Otto II, he lost Carinthia two years later and was succeeded by the Emperor's nephew Otto I, a scion of the Salian dynasty.
