  • Erdmann August of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and Hereditary Margrave 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 into 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, 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.
