Under <a href="/wiki/Wiprecht,_Margrave_of_Meissen" class="mw-redirect" title="Wiprecht, Margrave of Meissen">Wiprecht von Groitzsch</a> in the 1120s, Meissen underwent a process of Germanisation.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He was succeeded by <a href="/wiki/Conrad,_Margrave_of_Meissen" title="Conrad, Margrave of Meissen">Conrad the Great</a> (1123–56), <a href="/wiki/Otto_II,_Margrave_of_Meissen" title="Otto II, Margrave of Meissen">Otto the Rich</a> (1156–91), and <a href="/wiki/Dietrich,_Margrave_of_Meissen" class="mw-redirect" title="Dietrich, Margrave of Meissen">Dietrich the Hard-Pressed</a> (1191–1221), under whom the march would expand and develop. By then, Meissen had become a stronghold of the Wettin dynasty, suspiciously eyed by the <a href="/wiki/Hohenstaufen" title="Hohenstaufen">Hohenstaufen</a> emperors who nevertheless were not able to deprive the margraves of their power. </p><p>In 1264, during the <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Thuringian_Succession" title="War of the Thuringian Succession">War of the Thuringian Succession</a>, Margrave <a href="/wiki/Henry_III,_Margrave_of_Meissen" title="Henry III, Margrave of Meissen">Henry III</a> asserted himself in the <a href="/wiki/Landgraviate" class="mw-redirect" title="Landgraviate">Landgraviate</a> of Thuringia, where his uncle <a href="/wiki/Henry_Raspe" title="Henry Raspe">Henry Raspe</a> had died childless. Between 1243 and 1255, Henry III had also acquired the intermediate <a href="/wiki/Plei%C3%9Feland" class="mw-redirect" title="Pleißeland">Pleisseland</a> around <a href="/wiki/Altenburg" title="Altenburg">Altenburg</a> in pawn. In 1307, the attempt by the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Luxembourg" title="House of Luxembourg">Luxembourg</a> king <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor">Henry VII</a> to once again subdue the Margraves of Meissen failed with his defeat at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Lucka" title="Battle of Lucka">Battle of Lucka</a>. By that time the margravate was <i>de facto</i> independent of any sovereign authority. In the following years, there would be joint rule of Meissen by multiple members of the Wettin dynasty at any given time. In 1382 and 1445, this even led to the division of the march, however it would reunite soon after each time. Meissen was often enlarged by marriage, purchase, or conquest, which is how it gained the rights to the <a href="/wiki/Burgrave" title="Burgrave">burgraviate</a> in 1426. </p><p>In 1423, Margrave <a href="/wiki/Frederick_I,_Elector_of_Saxony" title="Frederick I, Elector of Saxony">Frederick IV</a> was assigned the heirless <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Saxe-Wittenberg" class="mw-redirect" title="Duchy of Saxe-Wittenberg">Duchy of Saxe-Wittenberg</a>, formerly held by the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Ascania" title="House of Ascania">House of Ascania</a>, by Emperor <a href="/wiki/Sigismund,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor">Sigismund</a> in turn for his support against the <a href="/wiki/Hussite_Wars" title="Hussite Wars">Hussites</a>. The Wettin rulers thereby entered into the Saxon <a href="/wiki/Prince-elector" title="Prince-elector">electorate</a>, in which they ultimately merged their margravial lands abandoning Meissen's status as an independent principality; though they retained the margravial title. In the late 15th century, the dynasty held a large contiguous territory between the <a href="/wiki/Werra" title="Werra">Werra</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oder" title="Oder">Oder</a> rivers. By the 1485 <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Leipzig" title="Treaty of Leipzig">Treaty of Leipzig</a>, however, the <a href="/wiki/Upper_Saxony" title="Upper Saxony">Upper Saxon</a> lands were again divided between Frederick's grandsons <a href="/wiki/Ernest,_Elector_of_Saxony" title="Ernest, Elector of Saxony">Ernest</a> ruling in <a href="/wiki/Wittenberg" title="Wittenberg">Wittenberg</a> and <a href="/wiki/Albert_III,_Duke_of_Saxony" title="Albert III, Duke of Saxony">Albert</a>, who took the former Meissen territory.
