Everything about Waldemar Margrave Of Brandenburg-stendal totally explained
Waldemar of Brandenburg (
German :
Waldemar der Große) (c.
1280 –
14 August 1319,
Bärwalde) was
Margrave of Brandenburg-Stendal, the last from the
Ascanian House.
Life
He was a son of
Conrad, Margrave of Brandenburg-Stendal and
Konstanze of Poland, daughter of
Przemysł I of Greater Poland. Waldemar was co-regent from 1302, and succeeded in 1309 as a guardian for his cousin
Henry II, Margrave of Brandenburg-Stendal.
By the
Treaty of Soldin of 1309, Waldemar relinquished his claims on
Pomerelia and
Danzig to the
Teutonic Order for a payment of 10000
silver Mark. The castle districts
Stolpe and
Schlawe remained with Brandenburg. These countries, however, were given, together with
Rügenwalde, to Duke
Wartislaw IV of Wolgast in
1317.
In
1316 he supported
Stralsund against Denmark and thereby provoked a large coalition of Denmark,
Sweden,
Poland,
Mecklenburg and the
Welfs against himself. He held his position but in the end had to give up
Stargard-Neubrandenburg at Mecklenburg. In 1319 Waldemar acquired for Brandenburg
Zuellichau and
Schwiebus.
Waldemar was the last governing member of the Brandenburg line of the Ascanian House. In 1309 he married
Agnes of Brandenburg (1297–1334), a daughter of Margrave
Hermann III. This marriage was childless.
With the death of Waldemar's ward Henry II the Brandenburg branch of the Ascanian House died off in 1320, and was succeeded by the Empire.
Falscher Woldemar
In 1348, an impostor dubbed "false Waldemar" successfully claimed that he was Waldemar, returning from pilgrimage to the Holy Land after somebody else had been buried in his place. Quickly gaining support due to rivalries, the Emperor reinvested him for about two years before "the last Ascanian" spend his remaining life at the court in Dessau.
