Ernest Of Saxony
forty-first archbishop of Magdeburg, was elected to that see January 19, 1476; but the pope declined at first to consecrate him, and he had a long contest with Adolphus of Anhalt and the citizens of Magdeburg before he secured quiet possession of the see. He died August 3, 1513. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generule, s.v.
