## Bio

Born in 1397, Albert V inherited the Austrian duchies and married Elizabeth of Luxembourg, which brought him the thrones of Hungary, Bohemia, and Croatia along with a claim to Luxembourg. He threw himself into the Hussite Wars alongside his father-in-law Sigismund, suffering defeat at Domažlice in 1431 and backing brutal persecutions of Hussites and Jews — including the 1420 Vienna pogrom and waves of expulsions and taxation. Crowned King of Hungary in 1438 and elected King of the Romans soon after, he struggled to hold Bohemia against Polish-backed forces and never secured full control. In 1439, while leading a campaign to defend Hungary from Ottoman invasion, he died at forty-two. His reign was short, violent, and shaped by the collapsing order of medieval Christendom.
