Page "Albert, Duke in Prussia" Paragraph 14

In imperial politics Albert was fairly active.

Joining the League of Torgau in 1526, he acted in unison with the Protestants, and was among the princes who banded and plotted together to overthrow Charles V after the issue of the Augsburg Interim in May 1548.

For various reasons, however, poverty and personal inclination among others, he did not take a prominent part in the military operations of this period.
