Monastic donations were an important means for European nobles to patronize the arts and education while also making assurances for their immortal souls. Great kings had more to atone for than most, including King Carloman of Bavaria (ca. 830–880), aka Karlmann. Aside from the actual donation itself to Ötting Abbey in Bavaria, the document provides important information about the region of Carinthia, listed as "Karatanien", various place names, as well as the history of transport.
Karlmann Document
On 9 September, 878 the Carolingian King Carloman, aka Karlmann, father of the eventual King and Emperor Arnulf, issued the Karlmann Document stipulating the donation of some land in Carinthia to his favorite monastery in Bavaria, Ötting. The object of the donation was the royal demesne of Treffen, north of Villach and west of Lake Ossiach. The document mentions Carinthia under its oldest name: Karantanien. Moreover, it provides many important place names and relevant information regarding the history of transport. Finally, the description of the boundaries of the royal demesne allows us to draw interesting conclusions on its size, nature, and structure.
