Everything about George Of Bavaria totally explained
Duke George the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut (
15 August 1455 –
1 December 1503 Ingolstadt), (German:
Georg, Herzog von Bayern-Landshut), since
1479 the last Duke of
Bavaria-
Landshut. He was a son of
Louis IX the Rich and Amalia of Saxony.
Biography
George became a strong ally of Emperor
Maximilian I and supported his campaigns in
Swabia,
Switzerland,
Geldern and
Hungary.
His wedding with the princess
Jadwiga Jagiellon (Hedwig, in German), a daughter of King
Kazimierz IV of Poland in
1475 was celebrated in the
Landshut Wedding with one of the most splendid festivals of the Middle Age. The couple had five children, three sons and two daughters. However, none of their sons survived until George's death, and per the restrictions of the
Salic law practiced in medieval Germany, their daughters couldn't inherit the duchy. However, George tried to bequeath the duchy to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband
Rupert of
Palatinate. This led to a destructive
war of succession after George's death in
1503/
1504.
Finally he was succeeded by
Albert IV of Bavaria-Munich. Only the new duchy of
Palatinate-Neuburg passed to Ruppert's sons
Otto-Henry, Elector Palatine (
Ottheinrich) and Philipp.
