Topic: Henry II of Carinthia

The rivalry between the two families was intensified by their efforts to extend their authority in the region of the middle Main, and this quarrel, known as the "Babenberg feud[?]," came to a head at the beginning of the 10th century during the troubled reign of the German king Louis the Child.
