Ferdinand's inheritance had been split in 1564 among his children, with Maximilian taking the Imperial crown and his younger brother Archduke [[Charles II, Archduke of Austria|Charles II]] ruling over [[Inner Austria]] (i.e. the [[Duchy of Styria]], the [[Duchy of Carniola]] with [[March of Istria]], the [[Duchy of Carinthia]], the [[Princely County of Gorizia and Gradisca]], and the [[Trieste|Imperial City of Trieste]], ruled from [[Graz]]). Charles's son and successor [[Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor|Ferdinand II]] in 1619 became Archduke of Austria and [[Holy Roman Emperor]] as well as [[Kingdom of Bohemia|King of Bohemia]] and [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]] in 1620. The Further Austrian/Tyrolean line of Ferdinand's brother Archduke [[Leopold V, Archduke of Austria|Leopold V]] survived until the death of his son [[Sigismund Francis, Archduke of Further Austria|Sigismund Francis]] in 1665, whereafter their territories ultimately returned to common control with the other [[Erblande|Austrian Habsburg lands]].
