As ruler of Friuli, Baldric continued Cadolah's war against Ljudevit Posavski (Liudovitus), the PannonianCroat leader. He was successful in expelling Ljudevit from imperial territory. He and Count Gerold also made war on the Bulgars at the order of Bertric, the count of the palace, in 826.
In 828, Baldric was removed from Friuli for his failure to have mounted an effective defense against the Bulgars during their invasion of 827, and the dukedom was divided into four counties.[2] Eventually the counties would be united under a marchio (margrave), but the duchy would never be restored.
