Albrecht was married from 1254 to Margaret of Sicily, the daughter of emperor Frederick II. As a dowry the Pleißnerland was pledged to the house of Wettin. With his spouse Albrecht had four children: Henry, Frederick, Diezmann and Agnes. After what was at first a happy rule and marriage, Albrecht turned away from Margarete and began a passionate love affair with Kunigunde of Eisenberg. As a result, Margarete left the Wartburg on 24 June 1270 and went to Frankfurt am Main where she died on 8 August of the same year. The two younger sons Frederick and Diezmann were looked after by her uncle, Dietrich, Margrave of Landsberg. Henry, the oldest, disappeared in Silesia in 1283.
