Bernhard IV, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg
- Bernhard IV, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg
Bernhard IV, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg (d. 28 June 1354), was a German prince member of the House of Ascania and ruler of the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg.
He was the eldest son of Bernhard III, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg by his first wife Agnes, daughter of Rudolf I, Elector of Saxony.
Life
After the death of his father in 1348, Bernhard inherited the principality of Anhalt-Bernburg as the sole ruler, bypassing the rights of his younger brothers Henry and Otto. He also used the title of "Margrave of Landsberg" -despite the fact the Margraviate was repurchased by the House of Wettin in 1347-.
He was betrothed shortly before his death to Beatrix (b. Wartburg, 1 September 1339 - d. Seusslitz, 25 July 1399), daughter of Frederick II, Margrave of Meissen. The marriage apparently never took place or, if really took place, was only juridical and unconsumated.
Bernhard died without issue; for this, he was succeded by his brother Henry. Shortly after Beatrix of Meissen took the veil and later became Abbess of Seusslitz near Weissenfels.
