Rule

[edit]

Albert was the second son of Margrave John Frederick and his first wife, Johanna Elisabeth of Baden-Durlach. Due to the untimely death of his older brother, Leopold Frederick at the age of two, Christian Albert was designated as heir apparent in 1676, succeeding his father as Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach upon his death in 1686. Due to his status as a minor upon the death of his father, Albrecht entered a guardianship arrangement and a regent was appointed to him.

Chrisitan Albrecht did not reach adulthood and died on the 16th of October 1692. Due to his lack of progeny, he was succeeded by his younger brother George Frederick the Elder.
