Henry I in armor on horseback, carrying Babenberg dynasty banner. Known as Henry the Strong, he was the Margrave of Austria from 994 to his death in 1018. During his margravate, a document was issued by Emperor Otto III on 1 November 996. Its historical significance lies in the fact that it is the first time that the name “Ostarrîchi” (the linguistic ancestor of “Österreich”, German name for Austria) is mentioned, even though it applied only to a relatively small territory.
