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.

{{Authority control}}
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]
