Duke Bernhard (1202 – 1256) had the castle of St. Veit extensively expanded. When Meinhard II, Count of Gorizia, became Duke of Carinthia in 1286, he ruled the country from Tyrol, which angered many Carinthian nobles, but also the citizens of St. Veit, the state capital at the time. In 1292, Ulrich Graf von Heunburg led the dissatisfied and captured Ludwig, the duke's son.
