What happens if Ottokar II of Bohemia was chosen as the King of the Romans instead of Rudolf I?
Ottokar is strong enough to be potentially too powerful (to the other lords). And he seems like someone who, if Emperor, would use that.
A fear expressed by the electors OTL who passed him over in favor of someone else (Rudolph of Habsburg) who seemed much less threatening.
If Ottokar is elected, I think many other powers (even some within the HRE) might ally with Hungary as a counterweight. Which Rudolph did OTL to offset Ottokar's power.
There will be blood.
