Something that interests me is the removal of the Saxon electorate from the Ernestine to the Albertine branch of the house of Wettin. Seemingly this occurred without any sort of bad blood between the two branches (at least any on an international level). This surprises me, since most other split families had rivalries between the branches – Welf (Brunswick and Hannover) and Wittelsbach (Bavaria and the Palatinate) etc. What if Johann Friedrich II (or his sons/heirs/brothers) were to get into a dynastic dispute with the Albertine branch (on par with the rivalry between some other houses’ competing branches)?
