Agnes of Brunswick-Lüneburg

Who is Agnes of Brunswick-Lüneburg?

Agnes of Brunswick-Lüneburg was a Duchess of Brunswick-Lüneburg by birth and by marriage Duchess of Pomerania and later Duchess of Mecklenburg. She was the daughter of Duke Magnus II of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Catharine of Anhalt-Bernburg.

Agnes married the first time around 1366 with Count Burkhard V of Mansfeld.

Agnes married the second time in Celle, between 1389 and 1391 with Duke Bogislaw VI of Pomerania.

Agnes married the third time in Schwerin, on 12 or 13 February 1396 with the widowed former King Albert of Sweden, who at that time was Duke Albert III of Mecklenburg. The couple had one son: Albert V, Duke of Mecklenburg and Schwerin.

Agnes is not considered a Queen of Sweden, because Albert had definitely been deposed in Sweden before they were married, but in Mecklenburg she was regarded as titular queen, since Albert did not renounce his claims on Sweden until 1405.

Agnes died between 1 August 1430 and 22 December 1434 and was buried in Gadebusch.
