Landsberg contract

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Landsberg Treaty , often referred to as the Second Bavarian State Division , was a Bavarian division in which the six sons of the Roman-German Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian, who died in 1347, took over the paternal inheritance on September 12, 1349, to which, in addition to Bavaria , Holland , Hainaut , Friesland , Zeeland , Brandenburg and Tyrol belonged, divided among themselves.

Ludwig's sons had administered their father's territory together for only two years before they decided to split it up into partial duchies in autumn 1349. Upper Bavaria , Brandenburg and Tyrol fell to Ludwig V the Brandenburger and his younger brothers Ludwig VI. and Otto V. , while Stephan II. with his brothers Wilhelm I and Albrecht I received Lower Bavaria and the Netherlands.

With the Luckau Treaty in December 1351, Ludwig V of Brandenburg gave the Mark Brandenburg to his brothers Ludwig VI. the Römer and Otto V from in order to be able to rule Upper Bavaria alone in return. Ludwig V then united the administration of Upper Bavaria and Tyrol. Lower Bavaria was divided again in the Regensburg Treaty in 1353 ; the Upper Bavarian line ended only ten years later with the death of Meinhard , the son of the Brandenburg native.
