Abstract
The follwing seminar paper is about Archduke Albrecht VI, brother to emperor Frederick III. Regarded as „villain“ in traditional historiography, which failed to value his substantial and successful efforts to improve his position as „prince without principality“, it will be shown that this assessment has its roots in his conflicts with his imperial brother. For an impartial observer, he pursued his aims with the means of a realpolitik. Although he still hast to be regarded as a minor figure in Austrian history, his expample tells a lot about the possibilities and constraints of a Late Medieval prince.
