Biography
Albert was born in Vienna as the son of Albert IV, Duke of Austria, and Johanna Sophia of Bavaria. Vienna ( in Wien; see also other names) is the Capital of Austria, and is also one of the nine States of Austria. Albert IV ( September 19, 1377 &ndash September 14, 1404) was a Duke of Austria.
Albert succeeded to the duchy of Austria on his father's death in 1404. After receiving a good education, he undertook the government of Austria in 1411, and succeeded, with the aid of his advisers, in ridding the duchy of the evils which had arisen during his minority. He assisted the German emperor Sigismund, who was also king of Hungary and Bohemia, in his campaigns against the Hussites, and in 1422 married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Sigismund, who designated him as his successor. For other nobles of the same name please see Sigismund. Sigismund ( February 14, 1368 – December 9, The Hussites were a Christian movement following the teachings of Czech reformer Jan Hus or John Huss (c (Note that she was not the daughter of Sigismund's first wife Mary of Hungary, and thus not descended from Angevin kings of Hungary, but in many ways, she descended from the old Arpád kings of Hungary.
