Ottokar was defeated by [[Rudolph I of Germany]], and at the meeting at [[Augsburg]] in 1282, he gave in fief to his sons Albrecht and Rudolf the province of Carniola, but it was leased to [[Meinhard, Duke of Carinthia|Meinhard, count of Gorizia-Tirol]]. Duke [[Henry I of Bohemia|Henry of Carinthia]] claimed Carniola; and the Dukes of Austria asserted their claim as successors to the Bohemian kingdom. When Henry died 1335 Jan, King of Bohemia, renounced his claims, and Albrecht, Duke of Austria, received Carniola; it was proclaimed a duchy by [[Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria|Rudolf IV]], in 1364. Emperor [[Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor|Frederick III]] united Upper, Lower, and Central Carniola as Metlika and Pivka into one duchy. The union of the dismembered parts was completed by 1607.<ref name=CE/>
