1487) Sophie of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach

Sophie of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach (1485 – 1537). Princess of Brandenburg-Ansbach and, by marriage, Duchess of Legnica.

Sophie was a daughter of the Margrave Frederick the Elder of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Bayreuth (1460–1536) from his marriage to Sophia of Poland ( 1464–1512), daughter of King Casimir IV of Poland.
She married on 24 November 1518 the Duke Frederick II of Legnica in Silesia (1480–1547).
Sophie is not to be confused with her eponymous niece (1535–1587), who was also Duchess of Legnica.
