The last independent Count of Gorizia, Leonardo/Leonhard died childless and left his county to Maximilian of Habsburg. From his wikipedia article, Leonhard and his brothers, inherited a ruined county from their father, and further lost out by disputing the Celje inheritance of Ulrich II. When they lost the inheritance dispute Friedrich III seized part of the county, whilst Maximilian seized the remainder on Leonhard's childless death.

Is there a way that Gorizia could "bounce back" from this slump? Perhaps through shrewder decisions or better luck (perhaps not having half their county seized by the Emperor?)

Looking forward to responses
