Albert I of Gorizia

Albert I of Gorizia (c. 1240 – 1 April 1304) was the younger son of Count Meinhard III and Adelaide of Tyrol. After their father was defeated by Carinthian and Salzburg forces, Albert and his brother Meinhard IV were held hostage at Hohenwerfen Castle from 1253 until their release in 1262. The brothers ruled jointly until dividing their inheritance in 1271, when Albert kept the County of Gorizia and lands in Friuli, Istria and Carniola.

He fought the Venetians alongside the patriarchs of Aquileia and backed Rudolf I against Ottokar II of Bohemia. His sons Henry III and Albert II succeeded him in turn.
