Albert II of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (died 14 April 1395) was Prince-Archbishop of Bremen in the years 1361–1395. ==Before ascending to the See of Bremen== His name is given as ''Albrecht'' in the genealogies of the House of Welf. He was a son of Magnus I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, of Principality of Wolfenbüttel and Sophia of Brandenburg-Stendal. Albert gained prebendaries as canon of the then Catholic cathedral〔Magdeburg's cathedral () ''St. Mauritius and St. Catherina'' is today an Evangelical church within the Evangelical Church in Middle Germany. While St. Sebastian serves as Magdeburg's present Roman Catholic cathedral ((ドイツ語:Kathedrale St. Sebastian)) of the modern Roman Catholic Diocese of Magdeburg.〕 in Magdeburg (then in the Prince-Archbishopric of Magdeburg) and as provost at the church of St. Pauli in Halberstadt (then in the Prince-Bishopric of Halberstadt). Pope Clement VI had appointed Albert's predecessor Godfrey of Arnsberg, violating the Prince-Archbishopric's constitution, which reserved the privilege to elect the Prince-Archbishop to the Bremian Chapters of Bremen Cathedral and Hamburg Concathedral (with three votes). The Chapters for their part had elected Bremen's dean, Maurice of Oldenburg as Prince-Archbishop.〔Maurice was killed in action near Blexen in 1368, while invading Rüstringen for his brother Conrad I, Count of Oldenburg. Both were sons of John II, Count of Oldenburg and his wife Hedwig of Diepholz, thus they were nephews of Otto of Oldenburg. Cf. Adolf Hofmeister, "Adel, Bauern und Stände", in: see references for bibliographical details, vol. II: pp. 195–240, here p. 211.〕 Maurice served already since 1345 as administrator of the Prince-Archbishopric, appointed under his uncle then Prince-Archbishop Otto I (reigned 1345–1348).〔Konrad Elmshäuser, "Die Erzbischöfe als Landesherren", in: see references for bibliographical details, vol. II: pp. 159–194, here p. 180. ISBN 978-3-9801919-8-2.〕 In a stalemate both agreed, that Godfrey would bear the title and Maurice wield the power, thus Godfrey confirmed Maurice as administrator and appointed him coadjutor, a position which usually included the expectancy of succession to the See. Later Godfrey, frustrated about Maurice' superior role, allied himself with Count Gerhard III of Hoya. The Count waged war on Maurice but the Prince-Archbishopric – with considerable support by Bremen – turned out to enjoy the fortunes of war and thus became a threat to the County. In 1358 Count Gerhard took some burghers of Bremen as hostages. Thus Count Gerhard called on Duke Magnus, the eastern neighbour of the Prince-Archbishopric, for help. But Magnus demanded a reward, and – Gerhard meanwhile in a desperate situation – promised to help providing Magnus' son Albert with the Bremian See. Thus Count Gerhard had to convince his ally Godfrey to resign. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert II of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
