Why were there multiple archdukes in Austria?
When reading about late 16th and early 17th century european politics, I often see the archdukes of Austria mentioned. I get that these people were the rulers of the archduchy of Austria, but I don't get why there were multiple archdukes at the very same time. I see this mainly in Dutch literature, so it might be a Dutch thing.
An example of this would be Emperor Matthias, who besides being the Emperor, was also the archduke of Austria. Yet, his brother Albert of Austria was also reffered to as 'the archduke', while he was not the actual ruler of the archduchy. So why is this? Why are all the brothers and sisters of Matthias and Albert on this wikipedia page (under 'marriage and children') reffered to as archdukes/archduchesses?
Also as a bonus question: why are they 'arch'-dukes in the first place? I have some knowledge about where titles like duke and count came from in the early medieval period, but I've never heard about why the dukes and duchesses of Austria got this special title.
