Live and act

Ulrich was the eldest son of Duke Hermann of Carinthia and Agnes, daughter of Duke Heinrich Jasomirgott of Austria .

Under the tutelage of his uncle, Duke Leopold V of Babenberg , he followed his father's death in 1181 as Duke of Carinthia . From 1186, when the last Duke of Traungau in Styria was gradually coming to an end, he was unable to assert any Spanheimer claims against his guardian as a ward . From 1194 Ulrich II ruled independently and, like his predecessors, was a Staufer supporter. In 1197 he took part in the crusade of Emperor Heinrich VI. to the Holy Land. In 1198/99 he became incapable of government due to illness .

His successor as regent or as duke after his death in 1202 was his younger brother Bernhard von Spanheim .
