Treaty of Lignitz Brieg and Brandenbourg Union Conflicts
Fragmented chronicle recounts medieval and early modern feudal bargaining over Silesian principalities, detailing the 1537 union treaty between Lignitz and Brandenbourg, Ferdinand’s 1546 nullification, and the later extinction of the Lignitz line enabling Brandenbourg to press claims amid war and imperial diplomacy. The piece notes Emperor and Vienna’s evasive politics and a later royal offer involving Schwibus.
