Editing Privilegium Minus (section)

==Content==
The name is opposed to the 14th century ''{{lang|la|[[Privilegium Maius]]}}'', which was a forgery drawn up at the behest of the [[House of Habsburg|Habsburg]] duke [[Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria|Rudolf IV of Austria]]. The recipient of the ''{{lang|la|Privilegium Minus}}'' was Frederick's paternal half-uncle, the Babenberg margrave [[Henry II, Duke of Austria|Henry II Jasomirgott]].

In addition to the elevation of his [[margrave|margraviate]], the emperor determined that inheritance should also be possible through the female line of the ducal family. In the absence of children, the duke was allowed to designate a successor (''{{lang|la|libertas affectandi}}''). However, this extraordinary privilege was bound to the persons of Henry Jasomirgott and his wife [[Theodora Komnene, Duchess of Austria|Theodora Komnene]] (''{{lang|la|dux Austrie patruus noster et uxor eius}}'') for life, as both had no children and Henry's brothers [[Otto I of Freising]] and [[Conrad I of Passau]] had chosen ecclesiastical careers. The emperor reserved for himself the act of [[Fee (feudal tenure)|enfeoffment]] but would respect Henry's choice.

The duke's duty to attend the [[Imperial Diet (Holy Roman Empire)|Imperial Diet]] was limited to those cases where it convened within the [[Duchy of Bavaria|Bavarian]] lands (''{{lang|la|ad curias, quas imperator prefixerit in Bavaria}}''), which saved costly traveling throughout the Empire. Also, Austria was henceforth only required to provide troops to the emperor in wars in its vicinity (''{{lang|la|in regna vel provincias Austrie vicinas}}'').<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Österreich verlässt Bayern [Austria leaves Bavaria] |language=German |first=Knut |last=Görich |magazine=[[Damals]] |issue=4 |year=2012 |volume=44 |pages=24–29}}</ref> Henry Jasomirgott was obliged to further on discharge his traditional duties as former [[margrave]].
