In 1411, [[Frederick I, Elector of Brandenburg|Frederick VI]], Burgrave of the small but wealthy Nuremberg, was appointed governor of Brandenburg in order to restore order and stability. At the [[Council of Constance]] in 1415, King [[Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor|Sigismund]] elevated Frederick to the rank of Elector and Margrave of Brandenburg as Frederick I. In 1417, Elector Frederick purchased Brandenburg from its then-sovereign, Emperor Sigismund, for 400,000 Hungarian guilders.
