[edit] Rudolf was never duke of Austria and Styria

Rudolf was never duke of Austria and Styria (as the information box at the end indicates). He, as German king, just invested his sons Albert and Rudolph with the duchies of Austria and Styria (as the article states). I think the box has to be altered. 85.124.182.40 10:46, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I believe it's common practice to list the king as the ruler of a duchy for periods during which he has not appointed a duke, even if he did not use the title of duke himself. --Chl 16:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Rudolf was really never duke of Austria! On of his son was: Rudolf IV. of Austria. And I am an austrian, I know that!

So? He still ruled it with all the powers of a duke. That's enough for me. -Alex 12.220.157.93 05:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC).
