Albert III (died 25 November 1199), also known as Albert the Rich, was Count of Habsburg and an early ancestor of the royal House of Habsburg.[1]
He was the son of Count Werner II of Habsburg,[1] whom he succeeded in 1167. His large inheritance included estates in Switzerland, Alsace and Baden.[2] Albert married Ida, daughter of Count Rudolph of Pfullendorf and Elisabeth, daughter of Welf VI. Like his father, he was a loyal supporter of the Imperial House of Hohenstaufen.
