Image Title: Family Tree of Leisnig Counts

Description: A family tree tracing the counts (or, more specifically, burgraves) and countesses of Leisnig, starting at the bottom with Albrecht II (r. 1319–c. 1360) and Beate von Anhalt, and ending at the top with Georg II (d. 1537) and Agnes von Mansfeld (1504–1570). Each member’s name is presented with their arms, and the Leisnig family’s triple-helmed coat of arms appears at the top, including a shield that much resembles the present-day city of Rantzau’s arms.
