Note: Saxony begins as an ethnic
dukedom in the 9th century. It gradually becomes
territorial, and shifts geographically from
present-day Niedersachsen to present-day Sachsen. This
account begins with the confirmation of electoral status
of the duke.
- 7 Apr 1180 The old duchy of Saxony is reduced to the area around
- Wittenberg and given to the Askanien dynasty.
- 25 Dec 1356 The Golden Bull confirms that the Duke of Saxony is an
- elector, and makes his land indivisible; style of ruler:
- Herzog von Sachsen, Erzmarschall und Kurfürst des Heiligen
- Römischen Reichs (Duke of Saxony, Archmarshal and
- Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire).
- 27 Nov 1422 Alrecht III, last of the Askanien dynasty dies, Saxony
- under imperial administration.
- 6 Jan 1423 Saxony is enfeoffed to the Wettin dynasty, Markgraf of Meissen.
- 7 Sep 1464 Dukes Ernst and Albrecht IV "der Beherzte" rule jointly,
- Ernst being elector.
- 11 Nov 1485 The Herzogtum Sachsen is divided between Albrecht and Ernst,
- Ernst retaining the (indivisible) electorate; thus the dynasty
- splits into the Ernestine line and the Albertine line.
- 19 May 1547 The Ernestine line is deprived of the electorate; it goes
- on to establish the Saxon duchies in Thuringia.
- 4 Jun 1547 The electorate is conferred on the Albertine line.
- 27 Jul 1697 - 16 Feb 1704 In personal union with the Kingdom of Poland.
- 8 Aug 1709 - 1 Feb 1733 In
personal union with the Kingdom of Poland.
6 Jan 1734 - 5 Oct 1763 In personal union with the Kingdom of Poland.
- 11 Dec 1806 Kingdom of Saxony (Königreich Sachsen) proclaimed.
- 17 Sep 1807 - 21 May 1815 In personal union with the Duchy of Warsaw (Poland).
- 28 Oct 1813 - 8 Jun 1815 Government-General of the High Allied Powers (General-Gouvernement
- der Hohen Verbündeten Mächte).
- 21 May
1815
The king is forced to recognize the loss of the
northern and
- western areas (57% of Saxony, 42% of population) to Prussia.
- 3 May 1849 - 9 May 1849 Provisional government formed in rebellion during the May Uprising
-
in Dresden.
- 18 Jun 1866 - 21 Oct 1866 Occupied by Prussia.
