Albert II of Brunswick-Lüneburg

Albert II of Brunswick-Lüneburg (c. 1294–1358), son of Duke Albert the Fat of Brunswick-Göttingen, was bishop of Halberstadt from 1325 to 1358 and spent most of it in feuds. In the 1324 chapter election he won only five votes, but Archbishop Matthias of Mainz chose him, although Pope John XXII had granted the see to Giseko of Holstein.

In 1325 he took Guntekenburg from the counts of Regenstein, and in 1326 Quedlinburg's guardianship passed to his church. His own chapter then allied with the city's collegiate chapters against him. When he closed the cathedral and the Liebfrauenkirche, Halberstadt rose, several of his envoys were killed and he had to flee; peace came in 1338.

In the 1350s Pope Innocent VI excommunicated him and forced his resignation. He died in 1358 and was buried at St Blasius in Brunswick.
