Bernard I of Werle

Bernard I (c. 1245–c. 1286), a son of Nicholas I of Werle and Jutta of Anhalt, first appears in a charter in 1273. From 1277 he ruled Werle jointly with his brothers Henry I and John I, and when the lands were divided in 1281 he received Prisannewitz.

He last appears in 1282; by 1288 his nephew Nicholas II called him dead, and 1286 is considered his likely death year. He was buried at Doberan Minster, leaving no documented heirs.
