Dukes of Saxe-Wittenberg
Albrecht succeeded his father in 1212 as ALBRECHT I Duke of Saxony, Herzog zu Bernburg. He left on a
Crusade in 1219. Pope Innocent IV granted Duke Albrecht the right of investiture in the bishoprics of
Lübeck, Ratzeburg and Schwerin in order to attract his support to the papal party against Konrad IV King
of Germany in 1252/53. The result was that Duke Albrecht participated in the second election of Willem II
Count of Holland as king of Germany in Brunswick 25 Mar 1252, although he gave no support to Willem during
the latter's campaign in Flanders in 1253. In 1222 he married AGNES of Austria, daughter of LEOPOLD VI "der
Glorreiche" Duke of Austria [Babenberg] & his wife Theodora Angelina.
His son Albrecht succeeded in 1266 as ALBRECHT II "Degener" Herzog von Sachsen. Titular Burggraf von
Magdeburg 1269. Graf von Brehna 1290. Herr zu Wittenberg und Brehna 1295-1296. .....
