Brandenburg
Brandenburg emerged initially as the North March (Mark), situated between
the Billungers
March to the north (on the Baltic coast and extreme south-east
Denmark),
and the Lusatia March to the south. The duchy of Saxony
bordered all the marches to the west, with Christian
Poland
in the east. The March counties were being founded by German expansion
eastwards |
