1. JOHANN von Brandenburg ([1233/42]-Tangermünde 10 Sep 1281, bur Kloster Chorin). The Cronica Principum Saxonie names (in order) "Iohannem…Ottonem…Conradum…Ericum" as sons of "Iohannes" and his wife Sophia[291]. He succeeded his father in [1266/67] as JOHANN II Markgraf von Brandenburg. "Johannes, Otto et Conradus, fratres, Marchiones Brandenburgenses" confirmed grants to Stendal by charter dated 1272[292]. "Johannes, Otto et Conradus, Marchiones Brandenburgenses" confirmed rights to the town of Pyritz by charter dated 14 Feb 1277[293].

Betrothed (1256) to Infanta doña BEATRIZ de Castilla, daughter of don ALFONSO X "el Sabio" King of Castile & his wife Infanta doña Violante de Aragón ([5 Nov/6 Dec] 1254-after 1280). The Cronica Principum Saxonie records the betrothal of "Iohannem [filium Iohannis]" and "filiam Alfusi regis Castelle"[294]. This betrothal was arranged by King Alfonso in order to attract the support of Brandenburg for his candidacy for the throne of Germany[295]. Although the name of the king's daughter is not specified in the source, it could only have been Beatriz as her older sister Berenguela was already betrothed at that date to Louis de France.

m ( [1258/62] ) HEDWIG von Werle, daughter of NIKOLAUS I Herr von Werle zu Rostock [Mecklenburg] & his wife Jutta von Anhalt (-9 Sep 1287, bur Kloster Chorin). The Cronica Principum Saxonie names "filiam domini Nicolai Hedwigem" as the wife of "Iohannem [filium Iohannis]"[296].

 Markgraf Johann II & his wife had two children: 

• a) JOHANN ([1259/70]-1292, bur Havelberg Cathedral). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Canon at Magdeburg 1290. Elected Bishop of Havelberg in 1290, but he failed to receive Papal confirmation due to his youth[297].
• b) KONRAD ([1260/81]-[end 1308/14 Aug 1319], bur Stendal). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.
