Margaret of Brandenburg (1410 – 27 July 1465, Landshut) was a Princess of Brandenburg by birth and through successive marriages Duchess of Mecklenburg, Duchess of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Countess of Waldenfels. Margaret was a daughter of Elector Frederick I of Brandenburg (1371–1440) from his marriage to Elisabeth of Bavaria-Landshut (1383–1442 ), daughter of Duke Frederick of Bavaria-Landshut. Elizabeth's brothers were Frederick II and Albert III Achilles, who successively ruled Brandenburg. She married in 1423 Duke Albert V of Mecklenburg, but he died shortly after his marriage, even before they could begin living together. Margaret received as dowry Dömitz and Gorlosen from her father.〔Ludwig Ernst Hahn: ''Kurfürst Friedrich der Erste von Brandenburg'', Hertz, 1859, p. 210〕 On 20 July 1441 Margaret married Louis VIII of Bavaria-Ingolstadt (1403–1445), to secure peace in the land.〔Carl Friedrich Goeschel: ''Elisabeth, die erste Kurfürstin von Brandenburg aus dem Hause Hohenzollern'', Mittler, 1844, S. 35〕 Through this marriage, Louis regained possessions he had lost to Elector Frederick I during the Bavarian War of 1420-1422.〔Max Spindler, Andreas Kraus: ''Handbuch der bayerischen Geschichte'', Band 2, S. 204〕 Two children were born is this marriage. Both, however, died young. In 1446, finally, Margaret secretly married her tutor, Count Martin of Waldenfels (d. 1471). This relationship has been incorporated into the tragedy ''Louis the Bearded'' by Georg Köberle, published in 1844. == References and sources == * * * * 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「Margaret of Brandenburg (1410–1465)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
