By 1297 Albrecht judged that the time had come to reach for the imperial crown. He had himself proclaimed as anti-king to King Adolf, who gradually lost support among the electors. The final decision fell on the battlefield, when Adolf was killed in the Battle of Göllheim in Rhine-Hessen in 1298.
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.
Died in Neszmély near Esztergom (Hungary) on 27 October 1439. Motto: ‘Amicus optima vitae possessio – A friend is the greatest treasure in life’. As Duke of Austria, Albrecht supported the Roman-German Emperor and Bohemian king Sigismund in his struggle against the revolutionary Hussite movement.
