Albert (1490-1545). Archbishop of Magdeburg and Elector of Mainz, called Albert of Brandenburg. "He appointed the Dominican Tetzel sub-commissioner in the work, whose preaching gave occasion to Luther to post up his well-known 95 theses." (The New International Encyclopaedia, Vol. I (New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1920) 332-333.)
