Blessed Adalbert III of Salzburg was born in 1145 in Bohemia. Adalbert was a younger son of Duke Ladislas II of Bohemia king from (1158; d. 1174) and his first wife Gjertrud, daughter of the Duke of Leopold III of Austria.

Archbishop Konrad II of Salzburg (1164-68) was Adalbert’s uncle on the mother’s side.
