'''Saxe-Coburg''' ({{lang-de|Sachsen-Coburg}}) is a historical state in today's [[Bavaria]], [[Germany]]. It was part of the Duchy of [[Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach]] after the [[Division of Erfurt]] in 1572. In 1596 Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach was split, Johann Casimir got Saxe-Coburg and Johann Ernst got [[Saxe-Eisenach]]. When Casimir died in 1633, his brother Ernst of Saxe-Eisenach ruled in Personal Union over Saxe-Coburg until he died in 1638. Saxe-Coburg was then given to other Ernestine duchies.
It became again a duchy in 1681. It remained under this name until 1699, when [[Albert V, Duke of Saxe-Coburg|Albrecht of Saxe-Coburg]] died without sons. His brother [[John Ernest IV, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld|Johann Ernst]] of [[Saxe-Saalfeld]] became the new Duke of [[Coburg]] and the duchy was renamed into [[Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld]] in 1735.
