The Kings of Bohemia are usually dated from 1212 when the title was confirmed by the Sicilian Bull, though an illustrious line of Dukes stretches back to the early 9th century. Previous dukes did claim the title of king however it was not a hereditary title.

Albert's three sons divide the duchy (the title of Archduke was a 1359 fabrication which was only confirmed in 1513 when Austria was reunited). The death of his cousins without heirs allows Sigismund, Duke of Inner Austria, to reunite the lands over the course of his rule.

After much bartering in the Imperial Diet the title of ''King of Austria'' is finally bestowed on the Archdukes in 1898, though this came with the provision, occasionally contested, that they should not pursue an additional electorate for Austria.

During the Bohemian Revolt which began the [[Fifty Years War (The Kalmar Union)|Fifty Years War]] the Protestant Bohemian nobles rejected the Austrian archduke and with Schmalkaldic support elected William-George, Prince of Oldenburg as the new Protestant King of Bohemia. His rule lasted only until the Catholic Empire marshals its forces and reconquers Bohemia.

Throughout the Fifty Years War the Austrian archdukes continue to use the title of 'King of Bohemia' though none are ever crowned in Prague and officially the throne is vacant. The Treaty of Copenhagen in 1668 returns Bohemia to Luxembourg rule, a sop to offset their loss of [[Brandenburg (The Kalmar Union)|Brandenburg]] and a snub to Austria.

While John IV is on his apparent deathbed (he recovers) the Prague Diet decides they will not accept the reactionary and widely despised Prince Charles of Utrecht as his successor. The nobles reach out to various parties but running out of time and options invite Austria to retake the crown. Archduke (and Emperor) Rudolph III is confirmed as king after the brief and indecisive [[War of Bohemian Succession (The Kalmar Union)|War of Bohemian Succession]].

After Frederick's death Austria is disputed between various claimants, the longest lasting being Ottokar II of Bohemia (1251-1278). He is eventually defeated by Emperor Rudolph I who would divide his lands between his sons.

Albert's three sons divide the duchy (the title of Archduke was a 1359 fabrication which was only confirmed in 1513 when Austria was reunited). The death of his cousins without heirs allows Sigismund, Duke of Inner Austria, to reunite the lands over the course of his rule.

After much bartering in the Imperial Diet the title of King of Austria is finally bestowed on the Archdukes in 1898, though this came with the provision, occasionally contested, that they should not pursue an additional electorate for Austria.

Bohemia

The Kings of Bohemia are usually dated from 1212 when the title was confirmed by the Sicilian Bull, though an illustrious line of Dukes stretches back to the early 9th century. Previous dukes did claim the title of king however it was not a hereditary title.

William Scrots 001 (1606-1618)

During the Bohemian Revolt which began the Fifty Years War the Protestant Bohemian nobles rejected the Austrian archduke and with Schmalkaldic support elected William-George, Prince of Oldenburg as the new Protestant King of Bohemia. His rule lasted only until the Catholic Empire marshals its forces and reconquers Bohemia.

Throughout the Fifty Years War the Austrian archdukes continue to use the title of 'King of Bohemia' though none are ever crowned in Prague and officially the throne is vacant. The Treaty of Copenhagen in 1668 returns Bohemia to Luxembourg rule, a sop to offset their loss of Brandenburg and a snub to Austria.

While John IV is on his apparent deathbed (he recovers) the Prague Diet decides they will not accept the reactionary and widely despised Prince Charles of Utrecht as his successor. The nobles reach out to various parties but running out of time and options invite Austria to retake the crown. Archduke (and Emperor) Rudolph III is confirmed as king after the brief and indecisive War of Bohemian Succession.
