Askania Family - Asukanaake

Japanese: アスカニア家 - あすかにあけ

…However, this inevitably led to conflict with the Stauvenian Emperor Frederick I, and the Lion Duke was eventually deposed in a trial in 1180. At this time, the Grand Duchy of Saxony was dissolved, and the Grand Duchy was given to the House of Askania, except for the southwestern part, which was given to the Archbishop of Cologne. Neither of them, nor the House of Welfen, who was later elevated to the Grand Duchy again (1235), were able to re-establish the former Grand Duchy of Saxony on the basis of their own Grand Duchy, and from then on, many separate secular and religious states were established in the region. The number of such states, including those that were directly subordinate to the Empire, reached about 30, and all of them only remained as local national figures, and none of them were able to take on the name "Saxony". …

From Brandenburg

...Margrave Gero (?-965) conquered the area east of the Elbe River around 940 and established the bishopric of Brandenburg as a base for Christianization, but the Wends then repeatedly rebelled, and in 983 the Germans were forced to retreat to the Elbe line. In 1134, Albrecht der Bär (?-1170) of the Askanier family was appointed Margrave of the Altmark (West of the Elbe), and by 1157 he had subjugated the Slavs east of the Elbe River again, and he actively attracted immigrants from northwestern Germany, built villages and towns there, and called himself Margrave of Brandenburg. Under the Ascanian margraves who succeeded Albert, Brandenburg's territory was expanded further eastward, reaching as far as the Neumark on the other side of the Oder River in the second half of the 13th century, and at the same time German colonization was promoted.

…しかし，このことが逆にシュタウフェン家の皇帝フリードリヒ1世との対立を不可避ならしめ，結局，1180年の裁判によって獅子公は失脚する。このとき，ザクセン大公領は解体され，大公権は，ケルン大司教に分与された南西部をのぞきアスカニア家Askanierに与えられたが，そのどちらもまた，後に再び大公位に昇格した(1235)ウェルフェン家も，みずからの大公権を基礎として旧ザクセン大公領を再建することができず，爾来この地域では多くの聖俗領邦の分立状態が定着する。そうした領邦の数は，帝国直属資格をもつものだけでも約30にのぼり，そのいずれも局地的な国家形象にとどまるのみで，〈ザクセン〉の名称をひきつぎうるものは一つもなかった。…

【ブランデンブルク】より

…辺境伯ゲロGero(？‐965)は，940年ごろエルベ川以東を征服し，キリスト教化の拠点として司教座ブランデンブルクを建設したが，その後ウェンド人は反乱をくりかえし，983年，ドイツ人はエルベ川の線まで後退を余儀なくされた。1134年，アスカニア家AskanierのアルブレヒトAlbrecht der Bär(？‐1170)が，このエルベ以西(アルトマルク)の辺境伯に封ぜられると，彼は57年までの間にエルベ川以東のスラブ人を再び服属せしめ，またさかんに北西部ドイツから移民を誘致して村や町を建て，みずからブランデンブルク辺境伯と称した。アルブレヒトのあとを継ぐアスカニア家の辺境伯たちのもとで，ブランデンブルクの領域はさらに東方へ拡張され，13世紀の後半にはオーデル川の彼岸(ノイマルク)まで進出，それと並行してドイツ人の植民も推進された。…
