The support of Albert duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, and of Louis II count palatine of the Rhine and duke of upper Bavaria, had been purchased by betrothing them to two of Rudolph's daughters; so that Otakar II king of Bohemia, a candidate for the throne, was almost alone in his opposition.
At length the hostility of the princes was overcome, and in December 1282 Rudolph invested his sons Albert and Rudolph with the duchies of Austria and Styria at Augsburg, and so laid the foundations of the greatness of the house of Habsburg.
