The origin of the Bindenschild has not been conclusively established, it possibly derived from the Styrian margraves of the Otakar noble family, who themselves may have adopted the colours from the descendants of the Carinthian duke Adalbero (ruled 1011–1035), a scion of the House of Eppenstein extinct in 1122.
The Eppensteiner domains however were significantly narrowed, as Henry gave the Veronese Friuli region to the Patriarchate of Aquileia, while the Carinthian March of Styria remained under the rule of the Otakars.
