Misnia

Misnia was the secular lordship of the bishops of Meissen, centered on Wurzen. In 1337 Bishop Withego II of Colditz held the see, while the Wettin margraves disputed its imperial immediacy.

In the 14th century the bishops consolidated their scattered estates around Wurzen and Stolpen-Bischofswerda. The Reformation ended their rule: in 1559 the last bishop ceded Stolpen and Bischofswerda to the Elector of Saxony, and in 1581 the Wurzen lands passed to Lutheran Electoral Saxony.
