	Carniola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carniola formed part of the Roman province of Pannonia; the northern part was joined to Noricum, the south-western and south-eastern parts and the city of Aemona to Venice and Istria.
		In the Middle Ages the Church held much property in Carniola, thus in Upper and Lower Carniola the Bishop of Freising became in 974 a feudal lord of the city of Skofja Loka, the Bishop of Brixen held Bled and possessions in the valley of Bohinj, and the Bishop of Lavant got Mokronog.
		Austria-Hungary reorganized the territory in (1849) as a duchy and Cisleithanian crownland in the Austrian Empire, bounded on the north by Carinthia, on the north-east by Styria, on the south-east and south by Croatia, and on the west by Trieste, Goritza, and Istria; area, 3,857 square miles (9,990 km²); population, 510,000.

	Heraldry and vexillology of Slovenia
		The Slovenian coat of arms is a heraldic composite, combining elements from the coats of arms of the Counts of Celje (golden stars), the Duchy of Carniola (colors) and the Socialist Republic of Slovenia (Mountain Triglav).
		Under the Habsburgs, the Duchy of Carniola was the main Slovenian-populated crownland, and the white, blue and red from its coat of arms (the shield, the eagle and the crescent) were adopted as the Slovenian national colors in 1848.
		Abandoned after 1918, with the passing of the Duchy of Carniola, the coat of arms was briefly resurrected from 1943 to 1945 as the symbol of the Slovenian auxilliary Axis forces.

	Early History of Gottschee–Kocevje
		Carniola became part of the Holy Roman Empire of Charlemagne in the year 800, when the empire was legitimated by the Pope four years after Charlemagne’s field marshal, Count Erich of Görz-Tyrol, defeated the army of the Avars at the Battle of Cividale, in Friuli.
		Forty of the 68 feudal places in Carniola were ruled by civil lords, and 7 of which were in lands ruled by various bishops, principally the Bishops of Brixen in South Tyrol, Freising in Germany, and Salzburg in Austria.
		One hundred years later we see the culmination of feudalism in Carniola and the emergence of powerful noble families as rulers -- the House of Cilly, the Andechs, Spanheimers, the Ortenburgs, the house of Görz-Tyrol, etc. These families were almost at the rank of princes of the empire -- and some were.

		On one occasion Count A. Auersperg (Anastasius Grün) entered the diet of Carniola carrying the whole of the Slovenian literature under his arm to provide evidence that the Slovenian language could in his view not be substituted for German as a medium of higher education.
		In a series of laws since 1867 the Croatian language was raised to equality with the hitherto officially dominating Italian language in Dalmatia.
		Since 1882 there was a Slovenian majority in the diet of Carniola and in the capital Laibach (Ljubljana), thereby replacing German as dominant official language.
