Encyclopedic overview

Frederick the Fair (German: Friedrich der Schöne) or the Handsome (c. 1289 – 13 January 1330), from the House of Habsburg, was the duke of Austria and Styria from 1308 as well as the anti-king of Germany from 1314 until 1325 and then co-king until his death.

The second son of King Albert I of Germany, Frederick became ruler of the Austrian and Styrian duchies in 1308 following the assassination of his father. When King Henry VII died in 1313, Frederick emerged as a candidate for the German crown. At the disputed double election of 19–20 October 1314 in Frankfurt, he received four of seven electoral votes and was crowned at Bonn Minster, while his rival Louis IV of Bavaria was simultaneously elected by a competing assembly and crowned at Aachen Cathedral, resulting in years of open war between the two claimants.
