Under Albert's rule, the construction of the Gothic Choir in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna was started, which is why it is also known as "Albertinian Choir".
Albert II was the son of Albert I of Germany. He became the joint ruler of all Habsburg lands with is younger brother Otto the Merry in 1330, while increasing his possessions by the inheritance of his wife Joan, which was made up of the County of Pfirt and several cities.
He established the "Albertinian House Rule" to predetermine the rules of succession in the Austrian lands, which, however, was disregarded afer his death and only renewed by Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. It later became a part of the Pragmatic Sanction, so that it effectively remained one of the basic laws of Austria until 1918.
