1523 CE

George of Brandenburg, by the further appropriation of the Duchy of Jägerndorf, comes into possession of all Upper Silesia.

As the owner and mortgagee of these territories, he prepares the way for the introduction of the Protestant Reformation, here in Hungary as well as in his native Franconia.

Earlier than any other German prince or any other member of the Hohenzollern line, including even his younger brother Albert, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, he turns his eyes and heart to the new faith proceeding from Wittenberg.
