List of Austrian consorts

This is a list of the Austrian empresses, archduchesses, duchesses and margravines, wives of the rulers of Austria. The monarchy in Austria was abolished at the end of the First World War in 1918.

The different titles lasted just a little under a millennium, 976 to 1918.

Albert III received the Archduchy of Austria, later called Lower Austria.

Leopold III received the Duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, the County of Tyrol and Further Austria.

In 1406, the Leopoldinian lines split their territories:

The Ernestine line received the Duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, also called Inner Austria:

The Elder Tyrolean Line received Tyrol and soon also Further Austria. These territories were also called Upper Austria:

Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary, claimed the Austrian territories and occupied Austria proper and Styria. Claiming the title "Duke of Austria", he resided in Vienna from 1485 to his death in 1490.
