About Christian Ernst, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth
- Christian Ernst of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (6 August 1644 in Bayreuth – 20 May 1712 in Erlangen) was a member of the House of Hohenzollern and Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. He was the only son of Erdmann August, Hereditary Margrave (Erbmarkgraf) of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, by his wife and first cousin, Sophie of Brandenburg-Ansbach. The death of his father (6 February 1651) made Christian Ernst the new heir to the margraviate of Bayreuth.
- At the age of ten, he succeeded his grandfather Christian as margrave when he died on 30 May 1655.
- His uncle Georg Albrecht acted as regent until 1664, when Christian Ernst was declared an adult and assumed the government of his principality.
