Extractions: SAXONY The Franks under Charlemagne slowly conquered the pagan Saxon tribes (782-804). The Saxons were initially subsumed by the Frankish Empire, but emerged as a separate kingdom during the Carolingian fragmentation that followed. Saxony emerges as one of the more powerful stem duchies in East Francia (kings of Germany), once the formal split is made between East and West Franks . The earliest dukes seize the throne of East Francia and under Otto I create what comes to be known the Holy Roman Empire AD 962 - 1260 There came to be some conflict in Saxony between the Hohenstaufen and Welf dukes. The former went on to become HREs while the latter seemed to lose out and were granted the Duchy of Brunswick as compensation.

Extractions: German Sachsen, French Saxe Any of several major territories in German history. It has been applied: (1) before AD 1180, to an extensive far-north German region including Holstein but lying mainly west and southwest of the estuary and lower course of the Elbe River; (2) between 1180 and 1423, to two much smaller and widely separated areas, one on the right (east) bank of the lower Elbe southeast of Holstein, the other on the middle Elbe; and (3) between 1423 and 1952, to a large central German region with its principal axis even farther up the Elbe and including, in the widest sense, all the country from Thuringia to Lusatia, bordering Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). Before 1180 the name Saxony was applied to the territory conquered between about AD 200 and 700 by the Germanic Saxon tribe. This territory included Holstein and the area west of the lower Elbe River, in what is now the German Land (state) of Lower Saxony. From there the Saxons expanded westward by sea to Britain in the 5th century. In the late 8th century the Saxons were conquered and Christianized by the Frankish ruler Charlemagne. In 843 Saxony became part of the East Frankish, or German, kingdom. By the early 10th century Saxony had emerged as a hereditary duchy under the Liudolfing dynasty, and in 919 Duke Henry of Saxony was elected German king. He founded the Saxon, or Ottonian, dynasty, which held the German crown until 1024. Under the Ottonians, the Germans advanced eastward into Slavic territory.

National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. In the sixth century AD present-day Saxony was settled by Sorbian tribes. The rule of the House of Wettin, which began in 1089 when Heinrich von Eilenburg became Margrave of Meissen, went on to last for 829 years. Saxony in 1485 the land was divided between the brothers Albert and Ernst. Albert took the eastern territories, largely corresponding to the present-day federal state of Saxony. A painting exists entitled "Portrait of a Saxonian Prince", which was done by Lucas Cranach of the German School. He lived from 1472 to 1553. It pictures a young robed boy waering what look likes a luxurious red silk tunic. He wears a crown of flowers on his head. He may be the son of Frederick III, we need to investiagte this. In 1697 Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was crowned King of Poland. Under the rule of Friedrich August I (Augustus the Strong) and Friedrich August II, Dresden became a centre of European art and culture. Saxony fought on the side of Napoleon at the Battle of Leipzig and lost. As a result, substantial territories had to be ceded to Prussia. Early industrialisation at the end of the 19th century brought prosperity but also social tension to Saxony. In Leipzig Ferdinand Lassalle founded the Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiterverein (General German Workers Association), and in Chemnitz August Bebel founded the Sächsische Volkspartei (Saxon Peoples Party), from which the Social Democratic Party later emerged.

In 1142 the duchy passed to Henry the Lion , son of Henry the Proud. The struggle between Henry the Lion and Emperor Frederick I ended with Henry's loss of all his fiefs in 1180.

Lives Of The Saints, November 15, Saint Albert The second Dominican General, Blessed Jordan of saxony, a compatriot of Albertand a very eloquent preacher, was in Padua, and when the students of Bologna http://magnificat.ca/cal/engl/11-15.htm
Extractions: From Cologne, Saint Albert was called to the University of Paris, with his dear disciple. There his genius appeared in all its brilliance, and there he composed a large number of his writings. Later, obedience took him back to Germany as Provincial of his Order. Without a murmur, he said farewell to his cell, his books, and his numerous disciples, and as Provincial thereafter journeyed with no money, always on foot, visiting the numerous monasteries under his jurisdiction, throughout an immense territory in which were included Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, and other regions even to Holland. He died, apparently of fatigue, at the age of seventy-three, on November 15, 1280, and his body was buried in Cologne in the Dominican church. He had to wait until December 16, 1931 for the honors of canonization and the extension of his cult to the universal Church. Proclaiming his holiness, Pope Pius XI added the glorious title, so well merited, of Doctor of the Church. From time immemorial, he has been known as Albert the Great.
Order Of Albert The award documents for the Order of albert Kingdom of saxony. Asevery order also the Order of albert comes with award documents. http://www.medalnet.net/document.htm
Extractions: Kingdom of Saxony As every order also the Order of Albert comes with award documents. § 7 of the order's statutes from December, 31 1850 say: Jeder der von Uns mit dem Orden Begnadigten erhält ein von Uns gezeichnetes, vom Ordenscanzler contrasigniertes Decret..." ( "Everyone who will be awarded with our order receives an award document, that is signed by us, and contra signed by the chancellor of the order..." ). The documents are changing their style, as the decorations over the 60 year's of existence and are going to be examined in the following article. First it has to be said that there was a leak of award documents from the time the order was issued, so that this article is not totally completed. The documents have all the same size of ~35 x 22 cm and have a double sheet. Only the cover page is be written on. The whole document can be divided into 10 parts, that are looking in general similar (Look at picture 1).

Extractions: The Smaller- or Honor Cross of the Saxony Order of Albert With founding the Order of Albert the so called Smaller Cross was as the 5th grade of the order was issued. It was renamed in Honor Cross in 1858. With awarding the last cross on November 27, 1875, only a total of 362 Honor Crosses have been issued to loyal citizens. As known to many collectors, the Order of Albert was awarded for over 23 years with the design. The medallion did show the bust of Herzog Johann den Beständigen instead of the founder of the Albertinien family line of the house of Wettin, Herzog Albrecht der Beherzte (Albert). After discovering the mistake the so called "Bäckermütze" vanished quietly. This was concluded in a non publicized edict of the ministry of interior affairs on January 26, 1875. This act triggered the complete renewal of the orders statues. With the rewriting e.g. the golden medal was changed into the Albert Cross (Albrechtskreuz) and the Smaller- or Honor Cross was changed into the knight cross 2nd class. All legal bearers of the order decorations were granted the right to exchange all 1st type decorations for the under the new statues "regulated and corrected" badges. This was certainly more than wished for to cover the embarrassing mistake. All of this is cause for the rarity of the Smaller- or Honor Cross of the Order of Albert. I personally know only of 3 original pieces in collections.

Extractions: The Ernestine line of the Saxon House was not credited with the title Prince before 1815, even if the Head of the various lines was bearing the title of Princely Count of Henneberg. This doesn't imply that all components of the Family were Princes. After the Westphalen Peace (1648) Duke Ernst the Pious (+ 1675) has been credited with the rank of " Durchlaut" or Highness. The Albertine branch, excluding the lines of Weissenfels, Merseburg and Naumburg, started to bear the title of Prince of Saxony after 1719, when they assumed the Royal Throne of Poland. The real title, in this case, was "Herzog zu Sachsen Prinz von Polen".- During the 18th century it was normal use to call all of the components of this branch Princes of Saxony. Following the Congress of Vienna all lines were credited with the title of Prince with the rank of Highness excluding the Albertine line which was credited with the rank of "Royal Highness"
