Prussia Under Frederick the Great. Frederick the Great significantly modernized Prussian economy, administration, judicial system, education, finance, and agriculture, but never attempted to change the social order based on the dominance of the landed nobility.
Frederick’s conflict with his younger brother Albrecht IV over their paternal inheritance culminated in 1462 in the siege of the Hofburg at Vienna, where Frederick barricaded himself in against his brother, who had successfully mobilized the Viennese citizenry against the emperor.
Albrecht was the eldest son of Rudolf I and Gertrud of Hohenberg. Initially active in the Habsburg patrimonial dominions in Alsace, his presence in Austria is not recorded until 1279. In 1281 he was invested with the administration of the former Babenberg lands that had been seized by Ottokar Přemysl.
When Rudolf died shortly afterwards in 1307, Albrecht attempted to secure the crown of Bohemia. This would have decisively increased the standing of the Habsburgs within the Holy Roman Empire. However, the attempt was thwarted by the murder of Albrecht I in 1308.
