The Albertinian line of the House of Habsburgs refers to the descendants of Duke Albert III of Austria when the Austrian Archduchy was divided in 1379, Austria Proper being ruled by Albert and the rest (Carinthia, Carniola, Tirol and Further Austria) being ruled by Leopold of Habsburg (the Leopoldine line).
The line even had a elected King of Romans, Albert II in 1438, that also ruled Hungary and Bohemia, but died in 1439, being succeed by his cousin of the Leopoldine branch the future HRE Frederick III.
Albert had a son, Ladislaus, that was born after his death. He would eventurally regain all of his father's lands in Bohemia and Hungary, but died at the age of 17 in 1457, aparentely of leukemia. The Habsburgs would only regain Bohemia and Hungary in 1526 with the death of Louis II Jagiellon.
But what if Ladislaus didn't die young, marry Magdalena of France and continue the dynasty (assuming it don't die in at least 200 years)?
How would the Albertinians fare against the Ottomans?
How would be the dynamics with the Leopoldine (Imperial) Branch?
Note: Magdalena of France was the Great-great grandmother of Henry IV of France, butterflies
