House of Gorizia
In 1907, the cultural historian Robert Eisler in his essay "The legend of the Saint Carantanian duke Domitian" argued that Domitian was merely an invention by the Benedictine monks of Millstatt Abbey. Compiled in the 12th century, the legend served as a tool to shake off the yoke of the "Vogts" from the noble House of Gorizia (Görz), who derived the jurisdiction from their Aribonid ancestors as founders of the monastery.
