(1505-1571), surnamed See also:Hector, elector of Brandenbuig, the See also:elder son of Joachim I., elector of See also:Brandenburg, was See also:born on the 13th of See also:January 1505.

time at the See also:court of the See also:emperor See also:Maximilian I., he married in 1524 a daughter of See also:George, See also:duke of See also:Saxony. In 1532 he led a contingent of the imperial See also:army on a See also:campaign against the See also:Turks; and soon afterwards, having lost his first wife, married Hedwig, daughter of See also:Sigismund I., See also:- KING

king of See also:Poland. He became elector of Brandenburg on his See also:father's See also:death in See also:July 1535, and undertook the See also:government of the old and See also:middle marks, while the new See also:mark passed to his See also:brother See also:John. Joachim took a prominent See also:part in imperial politics as an See also:advocate of See also:peace, though with a due regard for the interests of the See also:house of See also:Habsburg. He attempted to make peace between the Protestants and the emperor See also:Charles V. at See also:Frankfort in 1539, and subsequently at other places; but in 1542 he led the See also:German forces on an unsuccessful campaign against the Turks. When the See also:war See also:broke out between Charles and the 'See also:league of See also:Schmalkalden in 1546 the elector at first remained neutral; but he afterwards sent some troops to serve under the emperor. With See also:Maurice, elector of Saxony, he persuaded See also:- PHILIP

Philip, See also:landgrave of See also:Hesse, to surrender to Charles after the imperial victory at See also:Muhlberg in See also:April 1547, and pledged his word that the landgrave would be pardoned. But, although he See also:felt aggrieved when the emperor declined to be See also:bound by this promise, he refused to join Maurice in his attack on Charles. He supported the See also:Interim, which was issued from See also:Augsburg in May 1548, and took part in the negotiations that resulted in the treaty of See also:Passau (1552), and the religious peace of Augsburg (1555). In domestic politics he sought to consolidate and strengthen the See also:power of his house by See also:treaties with neighbouring princes, and succeeded in secularizing the bishoprics of Brandenburg, See also:Havelberg and Lebus. Although brought up as a strict adherent of the older See also:religion, he showed signs of wavering soon after his See also:accession, and in 1539 allowed See also:free entrance to the reformed teaching in the electorate. He took the communion himself in both kinds, and established a new ecclesiastical organization in Brandenburg, but retained much of the ceremonial of the See also:- CHURCH

Henry VIII. in See also:England, and may be partly explained by a See also:desire to replenish his impoverished See also:exchequer with the See also:wealth of the Church (see BRANDENBURG). After the peace of Augsburg the elector mainly confined his See also:attention to Brandenburg, where he showed a keener desire to further the principles of the See also:Reformation. By his luxurious habits and his lavish See also:expenditure on public buildings he piled up a See also:great See also:accumulation of See also:debt, which was partly discharged by the estates of the See also:land in return for important concessions. He See also:cast covetous eyes upon the archbishopric of See also:Magdeburg and the bishopric of See also:Halberstadt, both of which he secured for his son See also:Frederick in 1551. When Frederick died in the following See also:year, the elector's son Sigismund obtained the two See also:sees; and on Sigismund's death in 1566 Magdeburg was secured by his See also:nephew, Joachim Frederick, afterwards elector of Brandenburg. Joachim, who was a See also:prince of generous and cultured tastes, died at See also:Kopenick on the 3rd of January 1571, and was succeeded by his son, John George. In 188o a statue was erected to his memory at See also:Spandau.
