Ottokar's Rule in Carniola -
"Although the King of Bohemia had, through superior might, succeeded in ousting Philipp from his rightful inheritance, the latter did not renounce his claims but continued to call himself a duke of Carinthia and lord of Carniola and the Borderlands and waited only for a favorable moment to fight for his rights again with weapons in his hands. When Ottokar had withdrawn from Carinthia, Philipp remained in Friuli rather than go to Persenbeug in exile and concluded, with the assent of his chapter and of the communities of Friuli, a defensive and offensive alliance with King Stephan of Hungary, whom he promised succession to the duchy of Carinthia together with Carniola and the Borderland in the event of his death He defeated the Count of Gorizia and chastised disloyal vassals of Aquileia. King Ottokar, however, severed Philipp's alliance with Stephan by concluding a peace treaty with the latter on July 2, 1271, wherein Stephan renounced, among other things, all claims to Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, and the Borderland. It was also decided that all minor disputes that might take place on the borders of Carinthia, Carniola, and the Borderland between the subjects of the two kingdoms would be settled and resolved by the Ban of Slavonia on the part of the King of Hungary and by the Hauplmann of Carinthia and Carniola on the part of the King of Bohemia. Another article of the peace treaty called for the banishment of the Camiolan nobleman' Wilhelm von Scherfenberg, who had been handed over from King Ottokar's provinces to Stephan and whom the rhyming chronicler Ottokar von Homeck praises as the Bayard of his time.
With the defeat of King Stephan, the king's ally, Philipp also lost all hope of recovering his fraternal inheritance, and his party became dissolved and to some extent fugitive. Our fatherland obeyed the new lord, whose iron hand successfully put down all resistance. Camiolans were in his court,' and Camiolans fought repeatedly under his flag against the predatory Hungarians. When in the year 1271 Ottokar called also his vassals in Carinthia and Carniola to war against Hungary, Albrecht von Fron led the Carinthians, Ulrich Schenk von Habsbach led the Camiolans," and Milota led the Styrians to Neustadt in Austria, where the army assembled. After the war had ended, Schenk von Habsbach also returned to Carniola to continue administering the province. Fron, however, no longer appears as Hauptmann of Carinthia from then on, and therefore it is quite possible that he died in the campaign. After Schenk von Habsbach the office of Haupimann was held by the Bohemian Ulrich von Durenholz from the House of Kaunitz as alter ego, captain general to the king.
The spring of the year 1272 brought a turning point for Ottokar in the death of the nominal German king, Richard of Cornwall, who had offered no resistance to the forceful seizure of a German imperial fief, accomplished by Carinthia together with Carniola and the Borderland. One could expect that the princes would provide an energetic successor of German ancestry whose strong arm would be able to control the prevailing lawlessness.
For the moment, the situation in the newly conquered southern provinces was indeed favorable for the king. Philipp, treacherously expelled from Friuli, relinquished the patriarchate of Aquileia and gave that diocese the city and stronghold of Laibach, which he could have continued to possess for the rest of his life.
King Ottokar became completely reconciled with Philipp and appointed him as his representative (vicarius) in Carinthia and, undoubtedly, also in Carniola and the Borderland, while Ulrich von Dttrenholz apparently continued to hold the office of Hauptman. Philipp might have come to Carinthia in the summer of 1272 and stayed there a few months after June 1, 1274 (at which time the documentary evidence still shows him to be representative). His administration of Carniola, albeit only nominal, lasted just as long, too. Moreover, on his seal at this time he called himself "heres Karinthie et Carniok."
During this period the Camiolans took part in a second military expedition to Hungary under Ulrich von Derenholz, who, fighting most bravely as their leader, died in the encounter near Laa (July or August 1273). Many may have fallen with him. The rest accompanied the king on his further expeditions. He held a tournament in Raab and knighted 50 deserving warriors.
After the death of Durenholz, who had continued to hold the office of Haupimann, Philipp changed his former title and now called himself a "permanent Hauptman' of Carinthia (perpetuus capitaneus Cart nthie). Besides him, however, an actual Hauptman headed the government, and thus Philipp's position was merely a post of honor. With the appointment of Ulrich von Tauter as Hauptman of Carinthia alone, whereas his predecessor Durenholz was at the same time captain general of Carniola and the Borderland, Schenk von Habsbach became autonomous Hauponann of Camiola and the Borderland, to the latter of which the Sann Valley belonged at that time."
