Albert of Habsburg has not abandoned his hopes of the throne, which are eventually realized: in 1298, he is chosen German king by some of the princes, who are bothered about Adolf's attempts to gain his own power basis in the lands of Thuringia and Meissen, again led by the Bohemian king Wenceslaus II.
The armies of the rival kings meet on July 2 at the Battle of Göllheim near Worms, where Adolf is defeated and slain.
