biography
Her father died on August 26, 1278 in the battle of Marchfeld against the Roman-German King Rudolf I of Habsburg . Ottokar was probably killed on the battlefield by an act of revenge by a Carinthian knight. To finally settle the conflict, Kunigunde decided to marry her children with the children of Rudolf. Agnes was betrothed to Rudolf II in spring 1279 , her brother Wenzel to Guta von Habsburg .
Through her marriage to Rudolf II in Prague in March 1289, Agnes became Duchess of Austria and Styria , as well as of Swabia , Alsace and Aargau .
From the marriage comes Johann Parricida (1290-1313), who was born shortly before or after his father's death.
