Albert I, Duke (Stem Duchy of Saxony) : All Data

Albert I, Duke of Saxony, ruled over the Stem Duchy of Saxony from 1215 to 1260. During his reign, he faced several significant conflicts. One of the most notable wars was the War of the Thuringian Succession, which occurred from 1247 to 1264. This conflict arose after the death of Henry Raspe, and Albert I played a crucial role in securing the succession rights for his son, Albert II. Additionally, Albert I was involved in the Northern Crusades, a series of military campaigns against the pagan tribes in the Baltic region. These crusades lasted from the late 12th century to the early 13th century, overlapping with Albert I's rule.
