Johanna Sophie of Bavaria

Johanna Sophie von Bayern (* 1373 or 1377; † July 28, 1410 in Vienna ) was the youngest daughter of Duke Albrecht I of Straubing-Holland . Her engagement to four-year-old Albrecht of Austria in 1381 marked the end of a feud between her father and Albrecht III. of Austria . The Duke of Straubing-Holland agreed to pay 10,000 Schock Prague Pfennigs as marriage property and gave the Natternberg Fortress and the city of Deggendorf as collateral . The wedding took place on April 24, 1390 in Vienna.

The marriage resulted in two children, the future Roman King Albrecht II and Margarete , who later became the wife of Duke Heinrich the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut . Albrecht IV became Duke of Austria after the death of his father in 1395, but died in 1404. His wife Johanna only survived him by six years. She did not live to see the wedding of her daughter with Heinrich von Bayern-Landshut in 1412 and the intervention of her son, who referred to his descent from Albrecht I, in the dispute over the Straubinger Ländchen .
