Empire?

Evidently biased article
This article is written in a way to leave the impression that Slovenes were actually not a part of this empire. If you check related links (Alpine Slavs, Carantania ...) the information presented there contradicts this and points to Samo's empire as a predecessor of Carantania. Also just looking at the map on the page itself makes this quite clear - the map on the page is contradicted by the text. The map even includes a lower Slovene region of Carniola, that is of course nowhere mentioned in the text.

Wendish March
The line in the article "If Valuk allowed Longobards to go through his territory, his principality could have not been part of Samo's empire." contradicts the map's inclusion of Carantania/Wendish March being included as Samo's territory.

However, the statement isn't exactly logical. Valuk allowing foreign armies to pass through his territory to attack the center of Samo's polity is not mutually exclusive with a lord/vassal relationship existing between the two. Valuk could have chosen to betray Samo in order to secure his own sovereignty or simply to avoid having his own territories pillaged, abandoning any obligations of fealty that might have existed between them.

Regardless, this article could use some cleaning up. 24.143.53.237 (talk) 17:45, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Kingdom?
At school, I’ve been taught that Samo was never coronated, so it should be just an empire right? 195.91.18.13 (talk) 04:38, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
