What was it like?
The world around Tangermünde, 1414: who ruled, who else was alive, how people lived. This is general history, not a record about the family, and every item shows where it comes from.
Local messengers, known as Amtsboten, were responsible for regional deliveries and were often compensated simply with food and beer.
Albrecht III was Elector of Brandenburg from 1471 until his death, the third from the House of Hohenzollern. A member of the Order of the Swan, he received the cognomen Achilles because of his knightly qualities and virtues. He also ruled in the Franconian principalities of Ansbach from 1440 and Kulmbach from 1464.
