Braslav fought against his Slavic neighbour, the Great Moravian king Svatopluk I in the service of King Arnulf of East Francia. The alliance against Great Moravia expanded when the newly-arrived Hungarians joined the fight on the Frankish King's side. After Svatopluk's death in 894, the Hungarians turned on against the Frankish King, so King Arnulf gave the Balaton Principality to Prince Braslav, seeking to save what could be saved from Hungarian pillages. Thereby, Braslav also became a ruler of the Carinthians living in present-day eastern-most Austria and around Ptuj. The fate of Pannonia could not be changed, as the Hungarians overran it in 900/901, thus ending Braslav's reign. Great Moravia was a Slavic empire existing in Central Europe between 833 and the early 10th century. ...
