William. Frederick's See also:brother See also:George died in 1402, and his See also:uncle William in 1407. A further dispute then arose, but in 1410 a treaty was made at See also:Naumburg, when Frederick and his brother William added the See also:northern See also:part of Meissen to their lands; and in 1425 the See also:death of William See also:left Frederick See also:sole ruler. In the See also:German See also:town See also:war of 1388 he assisted Frederick V. of See also:Hohenzollern, See also:burgrave of See also:Nuremberg, and in 1391 did the same for the See also:Teutonic See also:- ORDER

king of See also:Poland and See also:prince of Lithuania. He supported See also:Rupert III., elector See also:palatine of the See also:Rhine, in his struggle with King See also:Wenceslaus for the German
See also:throne, probably because Wenceslaus refused to fulfil a promise to give him his See also:sister See also:Anna in See also:marriage. The danger to See also:Germany from the See also:Hussites induced Frederick to ally himself with the German and Bohemian king See also:Sigismund; and he took a leading part in the war against them, during the earlier years of which he met with considerable success. In the See also:prosecution of this enterprise Frederick spent large sums of See also:money, for which he received various places in Bohemia and elsewhere in See also:pledge from Sigismund, who further rewarded him in See also:January 1423 with the vacant electoral duchy of See also:Saxe-See also:Wittenberg; and Frederick's formal See also:investiture followed at Ofen on the 1st of See also:August 1425. Thus spurred to renewed efforts against the Hussites, the elector was endeavouring to rouse the German princes to aid him in prosecuting this war when the Saxon See also:army was almost annihilated at See also:Aussig on the 16th of August 1426. Returning to Saxony, Frederick died at Altenburg on the 4th of January 1428, and was buried in the See also:cathedral at Meissen. In 1402 he married Catherine of See also:Brunswick, by whom he left four sons and two daughters. In 1409, in See also:conjunction with his brother William, he founded the university of See also:Leipzig, for the benefit of German students who had just left the university of See also:Prague. Frederick's importance as an See also:historical figure arises from his having obtained the electorate of Saxe-Wittenberg for the See also:house of Wettin, and transformed the margraviate of Meissen into the territory which afterwards became the See also:kingdom of Saxony. In addition to the king of Saxony, the sovereigns of See also:England and of the Belgians are his See also:direct descendants.
