The family came into Hungary with Sigismund of Luxembourg. He was a son of Rudolf Albeni. He had five brothers, including John, Sr., Peter and Henry, and three sisters. He had no children. His appointment to the position of ban (viceroy) was due to his influential uncle, bishop of Zagreb Eberhard Albeni. John was participated in the Council of Constance (1414–1415).
After his uncle's death he lost his office and replaced by Ivan Nelipčić.
