Albert III, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst

Albert III, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst (d. ca. 1 August 1359), was a German prince member of the House of Ascania and ruler of the Principality of Anhalt-Zerbst.

He was the eldest son of Albert II, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst by his second wife Beatrix, daughter of Rudolf I, Elector of Saxony and Duke of Saxe-Wittemberg.

Life

In life of his father, Albert was made co-ruler of the Principality of Anhalt-Zerbst in Zerbst-Köthen; at the same time, his uncle Waldemar I was also co-ruler but in his residence of Dessau.

Apparently, his reign only lasted a few months, predeceased his father and uncle. His next brother Rudolf was ordained priest and finally the sole heir of his father and eventual succesor was his youngest brother John II.
