Margraves of Meissen
The Margraves of Meissen were noble rulers in the region of Meissen, located in present-day Germany. They governed from the 13th to the 15th centuries and played a significant role in the development of the Saxony region. The title "Margrave" indicated their authority over border territories, and they were responsible for defending the area against external threats.
One of the most notable Margraves was Henry the Illustrious, who ruled in the 14th century and helped to strengthen the power of the House of Wettin. The Margraves contributed to the cultural and economic growth of Meissen, particularly through the promotion of ceramics and trade.
