Editing Judith of Poland (section)

==Death and aftermath==
Like her birth date, Judith's date of death remains unknown. Only the day, 8 July, is known thanks to the ''Regesta Historia Brandenburgensis'', which records the death in "''VIII Id Jul''" of "''Juditha marchionissa gemma Polonorum''".<ref>''Regesta Historiæ Brandenburgensis'', vol. I, p. 236.(ed. by G. W. von Raumer, Berlin 1836)</ref> By contrast, the year of death can be determined only through indirect sources. In documents from 1170 Judith is named as a living person. It is assumed that Judith died between 1171 and 1175. She was buried in the Brandenburg Cathedral.

Judith's oldest son, Otto II, inherited the Margraviate of Brandenburg after the death of his father in 1184. He never married or had children; because his brother Henry died before him (in 1192) also without issue, after Otto II's death in 1205 Brandenburg was inherited by his younger half-brother [[Albert II, Margrave of Brandenburg|Albert II]], son of Otto I and Ada.<ref>K. Jasiński, ''Rodowód pierwszych Piastów'', Poznań 2004, p. 258 and O. Balzer, ''Genealogia Piastów'', Kraków 2005, p. 958, considered Albert II as the third son of Judith and Otto I; however, this is contradicted by the majority of German historiography.</ref>
