!!!Interregnum

Interregnum, Latin: "time between reigns", period without a ruler, in 
Austria after the Babenbergs died out in 1246 without a legal order of 
succession, actually lasted only until 1250, when Hermann von Baden 
succeeded to the throne. The Interregnum was over in 1251, when the 
Estates of Austria and Styria elected the successor to the throne of 
Bohemia, Přemysl  Otakar, as Duke. Later the Habsburgs considered 
Otakar's reign legally flawed, so that the time of his rule was 
included in the Interregnum.
