Apitz (Meissen)
Apitz (* before 1270; † before 1305) from the Wettin family was the son of Albrecht II of Meißen with Kunigunde von Eisenberg .
Life
After 1270 Albrecht II of Meißen married his previous lover Kunigunde von Eisenberg († October 31, 1286). Albrecht II had the son Apitz conceived with her legitimized by the king. When Albrecht II intended to bequeath the Landgraviate of Thuringia to Apitz and to put up with his sons from their first marriage only with the Osterland (their mother's inheritance) and the Palatinate Saxony , the latter began a war against their father. In 1288 Frederick the Open took his father prisoner in open battle. He was freed again by the Treaty of Rochlitz , and Apitz subsequently became Lord von Tenneberg . Apitz died before his father (after January 27, 1301, at the latest in 1305).
