Erdmann August of Brandenburg-Bayreuth
- Erdmann August of Brandenburg-Bayreuth
Erdmann August of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (b. Bayreuth, 8 October 1615 - d. Hof, 6 February 1651), was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and Hereditary Margrave (German: "Erbmarkgraf") of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
He was the seventh of the nine children of Christian, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth by his wife, Marie of Prussia. In fact, he was the third-born son but the only to survive adulthood; his two older brothers Georg Frederick (b. and d. 1608) and Christian Ernst (b. 1613 - d. 1614) died long before his own birth.
In Ansbach on 8 December 1641, Erdmann August married with Sophie of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who was also his first cousin (daughter of Joachim Ernst, brother of his father). They had only one son:
#Christian Ernst (b. Bayreuth, 6 August 1644 - d. Erlangen, 20 May 1712), who became Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
Sophie died on 3 December 1646, but he never remarried. Erdmann August himself died four years later, aged thirty-five. Because he predeceased his father, his son Christian Ernst succeeded as Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in 1655.
