Albrecht I (Münsterberg-Oels)
Albrecht I von Münsterberg (also: Albrecht von Podiebrad ; Czech: Albrecht z Minstrberka; Albrecht z Poděbrad ; * August 3, 1468 in Kunětická Hora ; † July 12, 1511 in Proßnitz ) was a duke in the Silesian principalities of Münsterberg and Oels as well as a count from Glatz .
Life
Albrecht was a grandson of the Bohemian King George of Podebrady . His parents were Heinrich d. Ä. von Münsterberg and Ursula von Brandenburg , daughter of Margrave Albrecht Achilles .
In 1487 Albrecht was married to Salome (1475 / 76-1514), a daughter of the Sagan Duke Johann II . In the following year his younger brothers Georg and Karl were married to the daughters of Johann II.
After the death of their father, the three brothers Albrecht, Georg and Karl initially ruled together, each living on their own farm: Albrecht in Glatz , Georg in Oels , Karl in Münsterberg and from 1530 in the newly built castle in Frankenstein . Although the three brothers sold the Grafschaft Glatz to their later brother-in-law Ulrich von Hardegg as early as 1501 , they kept the title of Count von Glatz for themselves and their descendants until the Münsterberg lineage of the Lords of Podiebrad in the male line in 1647.
Albrechts and Salome's daughter Ursula (1498–1545) married Heinrich Švihovský von Riesenberg ( Jindřich Švihovský z Ryzmberka ; † 1551) in 1517 .
