From cca. 796 to 828/830 Upper Pannonia, as a territory under Frankish influence, referred to present-day western Hungary, i.e. to Pannonia to the north of the Drava (and to the east of Carantania and Krain). From 828/830 onwards, Upper Pannonia referred to Pannonia to the north of the
Rába River and to the east ofTulln . The name can be found even much later in a similar, but wider, meaning. E.g.Otto von Freising (Chron. 6, 15) uses it to refer toAustria (i.e. Austria proper) in the 12th century.ee also
