Where it sits in time
Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Bohemian king in 1549, 1549. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
Since 1329 it was under the suzerainty of Bohemia; it was acquired by the Saxon House of Wettin in 1472, before it was finally seized by the Bohemian king in 1549.
