Rulers, Monarchs and Princes of Brandenburg and Prussia


Under kristningen og invasionen af germanerne ind i de østlige områder - kaldet marker - øst for Elben blev der kæmpet mod mange af stammerne, af hvilke venderne var en af de vigtigste. En af de tidligst kendte fyrster var Pribislav af Hevelliernes æt. Fra 1127 regerede han et område med hovedsæde i byen Brenna, der senere blev til Brandenburg. Da han døde i 1150, udpegede han forinden Albrecht I der Bär (Bjørnen) som sin efterfølger. Albrecht, der var af Ascaniernes slægt*), havde i sin regeringsperiode samarbejdet med Pribislav fra sine landområdet vest for Pribislavs område.
*) Latinske form efter borgen Aschersleben.

Albrecht I, der havde haft den styrende position siden 1144, herskede efter 1150 som enehersker over området, og det er i denne periode, at navnet Brandenburg blev den faste betegnelse for området, og Albrecht begyndte at titulære sig som Markgreve af Brandenburg (Adelbertus Dei gratia marchio in Brandenborch). Dokumentationsdatoen er 03/10 1157.

Nedenstående har jeg beskrevet regenterne og deres slægter for både Brandenburg og Preussen. Der vil, når territorier eller slægter skifter, være ophold i regentlisten med forklaring til ændringen, og efter Brandenburgs regenter er gennemgået, vil de preussiske regenter blive behandlet. Hvor der er overlap, så en regent både er holder af Brandenburgtitlen og er preussisk regent, er der gjort bemærkning i personprofilerne.
