Albert the Bear, c.1100–1170, first margrave of Brandenburg (1150–70). He was a loyal vassal of Holy Roman Emperor Lothair II, who, as duke of Saxony, helped him take (1123) Lower Lusatia and the eastern march of Saxony. Albert lost these lands in 1131. He was rewarded (1134) for his share in Lothair's first Italian campaign with the North March. Calling himself margrave of Brandenburg as early as 1136 or 1142, he used the North March as a base for campaigns against the Wends, a pagan Slavic people. Invested (1138) with Saxony by Conrad III, Lothair's successor, he was expelled from the dukedom by Henry the Proud Henry the Proud, c.1108–1139, duke of Bavaria (1126–38) and of Saxony (1137–38).

Upon receiving the lien of the North March from the emperor Lothar III, Albert began his conquest of the lands of the Liutich Slavs. With this aim, he took part in the abortive Crusade of 1147 against the Slavs. In 1150, after the death of Prince Pribyslav of the Havelland, Albert seized Branibor, the chief center of the Havelland.
