He was the oldest son of Duke Leopold III (1351-1386) and his wife Viridis, née Visconti, Princess of Milan (1350-1414) and ruled in Carinthia, Styria and Carniola. His engagement with Jadwiga of Poland was one of the first attempts of the House of Habsburg to extend their sphere of influence in Eastern Central Europe under the maxim of "Tu felix Austria, nube!", meaning "...you, happy Austria, marry!"
