March of Brandenburg
The Empire regained control of the region in the 12th century.The Ascanians under Albert the Bear gained Brandenburg. However,a native named Jaxa took control. After a civil war, Albert retook control. Originally it controlled only Havelland and Zauche regions. Over time it conquered the Uckermark, Teltow, and Barnim regions east of the Havel and Nuthe. This extended it to the Oder River. The Neumark was acquired through purchases from the Piasts of Poland. Albert's son Otto succeeded him. The Wittlesbach Emperor granted it to his son. The Emperor Charles IV gave it to himself and this put the Luxembourgs on the throne. Brandenburg was inherited by the Hohenzollerns in 1415. The state was an electorate since the 14th century.Brandenburg became Lutheran in 1539. They inherited Cléves, Mark, and Rabensburg after the 7 Years' War.
