Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Saxony (15 March 1504, Dresden - 26 February 1539, Dresden) was a German nobleman and member of the Albertine branch of the house of Wettin. LifeHe was the seventh child and fifth son of George, Duke of Saxony and Barbara Jagiellon. His mother was the daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon. Though mentally handicapped, he was also the second of only four of their ten children to survive to adulthood and on the death of his elder brother John in 1537 he succeeded him as hereditary prince of the Duchy of Saxony. In Dresden on 27 January 1539 he married the Catholic Elisabeth (ca. 1516–1541), daughter of Ernest II, Count of Mansfeld-Vorderort and sister of Peter Ernst I von Mansfeld-Vorderort. However, he died four weeks after the marriage and it remained childless. On the same day as his death, Frederick's father released him from his obligation to do homage, which was to have taken place during his lifetime - George had hoped that "his obedient son [ie Frederick] would leave behind him so many seeds that his [ie George's] lands might have a ruling lord".[1] Frederick was buried in the chapel at Meissen Cathedral. George tried to remarry Frederick's widow Elisabeth to Maurice, Elector of Saxony, son of George's younger brother, the Lutheran Henry the Pious. Henry vetoed the idea and soon afterwards inherited the Duchy of Saxony from George when the latter died without surviving male issue in April 1539, less than two months after Frederick - the Duchy thus passed out of Catholic hands.
