Conditions

Will happen on June 10, 1424

Description

Although by the treaty of Neuberg of 1379 the Habsburg lands had been partitioned into separate entities, to be held by different members of the Habsburg family, the idea of the unity of the family survived. The most important consequence of this was that by a clause in the treaty in the case of a minor inheriting one of the states the oldest member of the family was to assume tutelage over the minor ruler and regency of his countries. Therefore when Archduke Ernst the Iron of Styria prematurely died in his best manhood in 1424 at the age of 47, and his sons Friedrich and Albrecht were only 9 and 5 years old, their uncle Friedrich IV, Count of Tyrol, became tutor of the two brothers and administered Styria, Carinthia and Carniola not only for them as their tutor, but personally as regent. The large noble dynasties of Styria, especially the Cilli, who quickly rose in power with the close personal friendship of Count Herman II and Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund, used the rather weak central authority during the regency, to enhance their power and autonomy.

Archduke Ernest the Iron was in his best manhood when he passed away in 1424 at the age of 47. His body was interred in the Abbey Reun near Graz. His successors were his three minor sons, Frederic V (*1415), Albert VI (*1418), and Ernest II (*1420). Since Styria was at war with Tyrol, whose ruler Friedrich IV would otherwise, according to Habsburg tradition, be chosen as the guardian of Ernest's sons, the Estates decided to trust the regency to Hermann II of Cilli, member of a noble family of Styrian magnates that was quickly rising in power due to Herman's close personal Friendship with the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund, whose life he saved in the battle against the Turks at Nicopolis. Thus Herman was made regent of Croatia in 1406, and in 1436 the family was raised to the rank of the princes of state.
