Both before and after he became king of Bohemia in succession to his father in September 1253 Ottokar was involved in a dispute with Bela IV[?], king of Hungary, over the possession of Styria, which duchy had formerly been united with Austria.
By an arrangement made in 1254 he surrendered part of it to Bela, but when the dispute was renewed he defeated the Hungarians in July 1260 near Kressenbrunn and secured the whole of Styria for himself, owing his formal investiture with Austria and Styria to the German king, Richard, Earl of Cornwall.
Ottokar was a founder of towns and a friend of law and order, while he assisted trade and welcomed German immigrants.
