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.
