Albert IV, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach

Albert IV, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach

Albrecht, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach, (b. Altenburg, 27 July 1599 - d. Eisenach, 20 December 1644) was the seventh, but fourth surviving, son of Johann, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, and Dorothea Maria of Anhalt. Albrecht received his first instruction by the Marshall Field Frederick of Kospoth. Later he studied at the University of Jena with his brothers.

In the years 1619-1621 he completed his "Cavalierstour" (Study Tour) with his younger brother Johann Frederick. The two princes travelled to France and Switzerland. With both princes travelled their guards, the Marshall Field Hans Bernd of Botzheim and the Advice Field Tobias Adami.

After his return in 1621, Albrecht was busy until 1626, mainly with tasks of government. He also represented his absent brothers as regent.

In Weimar on 24 June 1633 Albrecht married Dorothea of Saxe-Altenburg. The marriage was childless.

In accordance with the divisionary treaty with his brothers, Albrecht received Eisenach in 1640. He died four years later, and his state was merged with Saxe-Weimar.
