| | Sts. Cyril and Methodius |
 | | The first mention of the Moravians, we find made in 825, by pope Eugenius II, in an epistle to the bishop of Faviana.[7] now called Vienna, anciently Vindobona, in which he appoints the archbishop of Lorc (which see was since removed to Saltzburg) vicar of the apostolic see in that nation. |
 | | The Moravians and Carinthians were Sclavonian nations which had seized on these countries. |
 | | The latter were governed by dukes, the former by kings, having first chosen Samo, a Frenchman from Senogagus, a country near Brussels, who had valiantly defended them against the Avarea or Huns of Pannonia, in 622. |
