William of Brandenburg (1498 - 1563) was the Archbishop of Riga from 1539-1561. A member of the House of Hohenzollern, William was the son of Frederick I, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach, the brother of Albert, Duke of Prussia, and the grandson of Albert III Achilles, Elector of Brandenburg. After William's administration as Prince-bishop ended during the Livonian War, Riga became an Imperial Free City (1561-1581). Wikipedia
