Pribislav came to power at the castle of Brenna (Brandenburg an der Havel) in 1127. He was [[baptism|baptized]] as Heinrich ([[Henry (given name)|Henry]]) and became known in literature with the double name Pribislav-Henry. Since his predecessor Meinfried had already accepted [[Christianity]], it followed that Pribislav had already been baptized in childhood, in contrast to the ideas of medieval chroniclers that the prince had first been baptized as an adult.

Pribislav served as the godfather for [[Albert the Bear]]'s first son, [[Otto I, Margrave of Brandenburg|Otto]]. Emperor [[Lothair III, Holy Roman Emperor|Lothair III]] raised Pribislav to the status of a [[Monarch|king]] in 1134, although Albert was granted control over the [[Northern March]]. Because Pribislav was childless, Brandenburg passed to Albert after the death of the Slavic prince in Brandenburg an der Havel.

Pribislav-Henry (German: Pribislaw-Heinrich; d. 1150) was a Slavic Christian prince and the last ruler of the Hevelli (Stodorani) tribe in the Northern March of Brandenburg.[1] His reign started, probably supported by the Ascanians, after the prior Hevelli prince Meinfried had been murdered in 1127.[1] Having no sons of his own, he around 1129 gave the area between Brandenburg and Lehnin to his son-in-law, who was the oldest son of Albert the Bear.[1] Emperor Lothair III approved the gift and made Albert margrave of the Northern March in 1134.[1] In 1150, Pribislav Henry died and was succeeded, after a short war of succession, by Albert the Bear.[1]
