Leopoldinian Line




The division of the Habsburg territories between the Albertinian Line and the Leopoldian line was a result of the early death of Rudolf IV . After that his brothers Albert III and Leopold III divided the dynasty's territories in the Treaty Of Neuberg . Leopold had four sons, but only two younger ( Ernest The Iron and Frederick IV ) had children.

Ernest's and his wife Cymburgis Of Masovia 's children started the most famous line of Habsburg dynasty to which most subsequent Holy Roman Emperor s belonged , including Maximilian I and Emperor Charles V , and finally the last "genuine" Habsburg ruler of Austria , Maria Theresa .
