Duke Heinrich III. of Carinthia, the last Eppensteiner, he inherited from that in 1122 the duke and margrave dignity, but not its rich Allode that fell to the Traungau. ( This led, for example, the " provincia Graslupp ", i.e. the whole Neumarkt and Sankt Lambrecht area, and the Murau region, which hitherto Carinthia (county Friesach) had heard of Styria. ) However, the Margraviate was only still divided into personal union of the Duchy of Carinthia.
