History Of Friedrich II. of Prussia
Vol. III. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER VII
9/12

He was beaten at last by Moritz, "Sunday, 9th July, 1553," at a place called Sievershausen in the Hanover Country, where Moritz himself perished in the action .-- Albert fled thereupon to France.
No hope in France.

No luck in other small and desperate stakings of his: the game is done.

Albert returns to a Sister he had, to her Husband's Court in Baden; a broken, bare and bankrupt man;--soon dies there, childless, leaving the shadow of a name.

[Here, chiefly from Kohler _( Munzbelustigungen,_ iii.

414-416), is the chronology of Albert's operations:--Seizure of Nurnberg &c., 11th May to 22d June, 1552; Innspruck (with Treaty of Passau) follows.
