In my casual browsing of a genealogy website (genealogy.euweb.cz) I came across a French lady, Madeleine Françoise de Montmorency (1629-1707) who married someone called Florent de Brandenbourg. I was rather surprised to find that the gentleman had NO ties to EITHER the Hohenzollerns nor the preceding Askaniër dynasty, but was actually a member of the house of Sponheim (Bolanden).

Which made me wonder just where/how the title of Baron of Brandenburg came from/about. Does anyone know
