or 'der Lehme; the Lame'; Gf von Pfirt 1324, Duke of Austria,Styria, Carinthia, Carniola and South Tirol [1330-58]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_II_of_Austriaknown as the Wise or the Lame) was Duke of Austria.Albert II. was born as the son of Emperor Albert I on December12, 1298. He became the joint ruler of all Habsburg lands withhis younger brother, Otto the Merry in 1330, while increasinghis possessions by the inheritance of his wife Joan, which wasmade up of the County of Pfirt and several cities. Furthermore,Albert succeeded in establishing his claims on Carinthia andCarniola against John of Bohemia. Albert's high reputation isshown by the fact that Pope Benedict XII asked him to mediate inthe church's conflict with Emperor Louis the Bavarian in 1335.Also, King Philippe VI of France 1337 asked him for his helpagainst Emperor Louis and against King Edward III of England.Nevertheless, Albert remained faithful to the Emperor untilLouis' death. He establihed the "Albertinian House Rule"(Albertinische Hausordnung) to predetermine the rules ofsuccession in the Austrian lands, which, however, wasdisregarded after his death and only renewed by EmperorMaximilian I. It later became a part of the Pragmatic Sanction,so that it effectively remained one of the basic laws of Austriauntil 1918. Styria owes him its (former) constitution, theso-called "Mountain Book" (Bergbüchel); the same is true forCarinthia. Under Albert's rule, the construction of the GothicChoir in the Cathedral of Saint Stephan in Vienna were started,which is why it is also known as Albertinian Choir. There areonly suspicians about his temporal paralysis, but usuallypolyarthritis is mentioned as the cause. However, it did notprevent him from fathering four children: Rudolf, who succeededhim as duke, Frederick, Albert, and Leopold. His land grievedwhen Albert died on August 16, 1358.
