Albert was an ambitious and warlike prince. In 1272 he conquered the province of Stargard in Pomerania. In 1279 he assisted the Bishop of Hildesheim in a campaign against Albert, Duke of Brunswick. He also took part in a war between King Adolphus and Thuringia. In 1280 he again invaded the district of Stargard. His military exploits were highly extolled by the Minnesinger or Troubadours. A great patron of the fine arts, he was also passionately fond of poetry and music, and entertained at his Court a number of poets and minstrels who showed their gratitude by celebrating his achievements in verse." (Wyatt, pp. 321-322)
Hermann
1298-1308
"During the latter part of the year 1300 he was seized by illness, and, feeling his end approaching, sent for his nephew, the Margrave Hermann, who he made the heir to his title and estates. He breathed his last shortly after, either at the end of the year 1300 or early in the year 1301. The precise date is not known...." (Wyatt, p. 322)
"About the same time his brother-in-law Bolco, Duke of Sweednitz and Furstenberg, died, leaving two sons under age, the guardianship of whom was undertaken by the Margrave, who now styled himself Regent of Silesia." (Wyatt, p. 323)
"About the same time his brother-in-law Bolco, Duke of Sweednitz and Furstenberg, died, leaving two sons under age, the guardianship of whom was undertaken by the Margrave, who now styled himself Regent of Silesia." (Wyatt, p. 323)
"In July of 1304 Hermann purchased form the Margrave Diezmann Lower Lusatia and the territory lying between the Spreee and the Elster for 6,000 marks. In the summer of this same year he also acquired possession of the estates of the Margrave Otho the Long, who died without heir." (Wyatt, p. 324)
"Hermann continued engaged, together with his cousins, in military operations, and in refortifying the castle of Eldenburg; but he did not live to see the conclusion of the war, for in the month of January, 1308, he was taken suddenly ill, dying very shortly after. The death of the Margrave caused great grief throughout his dominions, universally respected as he was for his high character and admired for his talents. Moreover, his sudden death threatened to give rise to serious complications and embarrassments, as his only son Johann was a boy of five years of age. His wife Anna of Austria, daughter of the Emperor Albert, by whom he had five children, survived him." (Wyatt, p. 328)
