Blanche of France, a daughter of Philip III the Bold, wife of Rudolph III of Austria died giving birth to shortlived daughter. But if she and her daughter had lived? Rudolph couldn't marry Richeza Elizabeth and claim a crown of Bohemia (and formally Poland) for himself by this marriage. Albert I, Holy Roman Emperor has two possible choices about the future of Bohemia in this situation. He can name his younger son, Friedrich and marry him to Richeza Elizabeth (but the drawback is that Friedrich can be considered too young to rule by himself) or he can name his nephew, John (later known as Parricida) a new king. John happened to be grandson of Premysl Ottokar II, the grandfather of last Premyslid king of Bohemia. John also can marry Richeza Elizabeth, but it is not needed in his case (as it was with his cousins) because he can rule Bohemia in his own right. I'd say that John route is more probable, Albert didn't try to marry Friedrich to anyone at that stage. So if John is named a new king of Bohemia after Henry of Carinthia is deposed, than he could secure Habsburg succesion in Bohemia, living longer than Rudolph. Being content with his royal status, he wouldn't also arrange a murder of his uncle. So Habsburgs would not only gain Bohemia for themselves, but also stay in touch with Imperial throne. The could even get Poland, but that one is dubious - John Muskata and mayor Albert would support Habsburg claims to Poland, but Elbow-high could still count on Amadeus Aba support. @Jan Olbracht @kasumigenx
