[edit] Untitled
Who called it a "cow trade"? As a Lutheran, Albrecht did not need the Pope's approval. He had sworn loyalty to Sigismund, so he did not need the emperor's approval either. What does this add? Danny
- Both, the pope and the emperor. Albrecht was until then the Catholic Grand master and Sigismund I was his uncle. Needless to say, that neither the emperor nor the pope agreed, after all it was imperial and papal land.

[edit] 1525 Treaty at Krakow Prussian Tribute
(Note posted here, because of Space Cadet's ongoing removals) Albrecht swore personal fealty to Sigismund. However, neither the Pope nor the Emperor acknowledged this treaty and the empire continued its hold by giving the next grand master of the Teutonic Order Walter von Cronberg the administration of Prussia. The pope and the emperor had also not approved the previous 1466 Second Treaty of Thorn.
Question concerning Albert of Prussia wikipedia states: Born at Ansbach on May 16, 1490, he was intended for the church, and passed some time at the court of Hermann, elector of Cologne, who appointed him to a canonry in his cathedral.
What is the source of this statement?
I believe, that that might be incorrect and is rather a mix-up with another Albert of Brandenburg, also born 1490, but died 1545. Both Hohenzollern, but this one was meant for the church early on, became archbishop and cardinal. Albrecht of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Prussia (Albert of Prussia), however, only entered the Teutonic Order in 1511, with the clear understanding that he could not live by the Catholic vow of celibacy and he was assured that the grand masters are exempt.
[edit] Birthday
Half of the interwikis have him born May 16, half on May 17. Any reliable sources for either date? Kusma (討論) 01:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Albert I, Duke of Prussia vs. Albrecht von Hohenzollern
Which one do you think should be used for an official entry in Wikipedia? Should it be "Albert I, Duke of Prussia" or "Albrecht von Hohenzollern"? I think since he came from the Hohenzollern family, then this is the name that he should be under in Wikipedia. Your thoughts?

- Take a look at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles). As he was not a king, the title should be "{Monarch's first name and ordinal}, {Title} of {Country}". Family names are rarely included in article titles concerning rulers. Also, the ordinal should not be listed, as he is primarily known without it instead of with it. Olessi 22:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
