See also:JOACHIM I . (1484-1535), surnamed See also:Nestor, elector of See also:Brandenburg, See also:elder son of See also:John See also:Cicero, elector of Brandenburg, was See also:born on the 21st of See also:February 1484. He received an excellent See also:education, became elector of Brandenburg on his See also:father's See also:death in See also:January 1499, and soon afterwards married See also:Elizabeth, daughter of John, See also:- KING

king of See also:Denmark. He took some See also:part in the See also:political complications of the Scandinavian kingdoms, but the See also:early years of his reign were mainly spent in the See also:administration of his elector-See also:ate, where by stern and cruel See also:measures he succeeded in restoring some degree of See also:- ORDER

order (see BRANDENBURG). He also improved the administration of See also:justice, aided the development of See also:commerce, and was a friend to the towns. On the approach of the imperial See also:election of 1519, Joachim's See also:vote was eagerly solicited by the partisans of See also:Francis I., king of See also:France, and by those of See also:Charles, afterwards the See also:emperor Charles V. Having treated with, and received lavish promises from, both parties, he appears to have hoped for the dignity for himself; but when the election came he turned to the winning See also:side and voted for Charles. In spite of this step, however, the relations between the emperor and the elector were not friendly, and during the next few years Joachim was frequently in communication with the enemies of Charles. Joachim is best known as a pugnacious adherent of See also:Catholic orthodoxy. He was one of the princes who urged upon the emperor the See also:necessity of enforcing the See also:Edict of See also:Worms, and at several diets was prominent among the enemies of the Reformers. He was among those who met at See also:Dessau in See also:July 1525, and was a member of the See also:league established at See also:Halle in See also:November 1533. But his wife adopted the reformed faith, and in 1528 fled for safety to See also:Saxony; and he had the See also:mortification of seeing these doctrines also favoured by other members of his See also:family. Joachim, who was a See also:patron of learning, established the university of See also:Frankfort-on-the-See also:Oder in 15o6. He died at See also:Stendal
on the 11th of July 1535.
