Albert II was the Margrave of BrandenburgKulmbach from 1527 to 1553. He was a member of the Franconian branch of the House of Hohenzollern. Because of his bellicose nature, Albert during his lifetime was given the cognomen Bellator . Posthumously, he became known as Alcibiades.
Albert was born at Ansbach and, having lost his father Casimir in 1527, he came under the guardianship of his uncle George, Margrave of BrandenburgAnsbach, a strong adherent of Protestantism. In 1541, he received Bayreuth as his share of the family lands, but, as the chief town of his principality was Kulmbach, he is sometimes referred to as the Margrave of BrandenburgKulmbach.
