Comments

Frederick IV, nicknamed "The Pacific", was titular margrave of Misnie and landgrave of Thuringia from 1406 until his death.
He should not be confused with Frederick IV, known as "The Bellicose", co-margrave of Misnie from 1381 to 1428, then Elector of Saxony and Count Palatine of Saxony from 1423 to 1428.Automatically translated
