The First Margrave War (German: Erster Markgrafenkrieg) from 1449–52 was the result of disputes between the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg and Albrecht III Achilles, Elector of Brandenburg.[1] Numerous towns in Franconia in modern Germany were badly affected by the war.[2]
On 13 August 1449, Albert captured Castle Lichtenau, a Nuremberger possession. On 11 March 1450, Albert was defeated at Pillenreuther Weiher. The war ended with the signing of a peace treaty in Bamberg on 22 June 1450. Albert had to return all captured lands to the city of Nuremberg.
