WI: The Battle of Marchfeld won by the Bohemians?

This battle has proven to be pivotal to European history, indirectly leading to the rise of the Hapsburgs.....What if the result went a different way?
 
Ottokar seemed to have made a bit too many enemies on the run-up to Marchfeld, so i doubt he would manage to attain the title of Holy Roman Emperor. However, he could settle for a larger Bohemian Duchy (perhaps including Vienna), and estabilish stabler dynastic ties with Hungary and Poland.

I agree that King Ottokar won't obtain the imperial dignity. He could though gain Austria and Styria (probably by conceding Carinthia and Carniola) and secure the succession in Poland.

One of the few world changing battles in my book.
As the Profesor said - Bohemia holding on even only to Austria and Styria is a huge change.
And - of course - no (much weaker) Habsburgs - considering their role in European history - makes the world a different place.
