Editor's Notes

The villages donated to the Bishopric of Freising are (in order of appearance): Kubed, Predloka, Osp, Rožar, Truške, Šterna and Sveti Peter. All of them are in present-day Slovenia - see the appended map.

This is the last mention of margrave Ulrich I in the official imperial diplomata. The margrave died in March 1070 (see the sources attesting to this here).
