Karantania sometimes Carantania, Carentania, Carinthia (in old Slovenian onomastics Korotan), or Karantanija) was the first stable and independent state of Slovenians and of Slavs. Founded in the 6th century it lasted almost 300 years.
The first mention of this state in official documents has been dated to 595, according to present knowledge. Some older historians cite a date of 745, while others claim one even later. The label of the first Slavic state is a topic of some controversy. The Czechs proclaim to be descended from Samo's kingdom ( 623) and from Great MoraviaGreat Moravia ( Latin Moravia Magna) was a Slav state existing on the territory of present-day Moravia and Slovakia between 833 and the early 10th century. The first use of the designation "Great Moravia" stems from Constantine VII Porphyrogenitos in his ( 833Events End of the reign of caliph Mamun Nimmyo succeeds Junna as emperor of Japan Creation of Great Moravia Births Deaths 833.).

It gained great importance as the formal language of the Roman Empire. All Romance languages are descended from Latin, and ma authors named the Gorostan (archaic Mountain Home), a mountainous fatherland of Slovenian ancestors north of KaravankeKaravanke is a mountain range on the border between Slovenia and Austria. Running for one hundred and twenty kilometers in total length, the Karavanke chain is the longest range in Europe. The highest peak is Hochstuhl (German) Stol (Slovenian) (2236m). with the name Carantanum. Carinthia can also be derived from the name for Carni , a Celtic people.Around 611Alternate meaning: phone number 6-1-1 Events Kalakmul defeats Palenque Cynegils becomes King of Wessex Births Deaths Ceolwulf of Wessex 611. Karantanians passed over BavariaWith an area of 70,553 km˛ and 11. 6 million inhabitants, the Free State of Bavaria ( German Bayern or Freistaat Bayern forms the southernmost of the 16 Bundeslander of Germany. Its capital is Munich.

After 620 Karantania was joined to Samo's state union ( 623) with the name marca Vinedorum. It was ruled by the duke Valuk (Wallux dux Winedorum). In 658 Samo died and the Slav tribal union collapsed. Smaller Karantania persisted.
In 745 Karantania lost its independence and became a margraviate and tantamount part of the semifeudal Frankish empire later under the rule of king Charlemagne ( 742- 814, reigned 771-814) due to pressing danger of Avar tribes from the east.
In 843 Karantania passed into the hands of Louis the German ( 804- 876). In 887 Arnulf of Carinthia ( 850- 899) a grandson of Louis the German assumed his title of King of the East Franks and became the first Duke of Carinthia.
Dante Alighieri ( 1265- 1321) mentions Karantania as Chiarentana. The same name was used by Florentines such as a poet Fazio degli Uberti (circa 1309- 1367), the famous chronicler Giovanni Villani ( 1276-circa 1348) and Giovanni Boccaccio ( 1313- 1375), who said that the river Brenta rises from the mountains of Karantania, that is a land in Alps, which divide Italy from Germany.The ancient ritual of installing Karantanian dukes carried out in the Slovenian language on the Duke's Stone (Knežji kamen) at the Gosposvetsko polje (Gosposvetsko Field), today in Carinthia, Austria. This ceremony was conducted until the 15th century and it inspired Thomas Jefferson in writing the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776 as he read about it in the Jean Bodin's Six livres de la Republique.
