II Ludwig 
II was born in 1229 in München, Oberbayern, Bavaria. II's father was Otto VI Duke of Bavaria and Pfalzgraf am Rhein and his mother was Countess of the Rhein Agnes. His paternal grandparents were I Ludwig and Princess of Bohemia Lidmila; his maternal grandparents were Heinrich IV "The Long" and Countess of Lorraine Agnes. He had a brother and three sisters, named I, Duchess of Bavaria, Countess Of Bavaria and Countess Of Bavaria. He was the second oldest of the five children. He died at the age of 65 in 1294.General Notes
Ludwig II was appointed an Elector of the Empire as Count Palatine of the Palatinate 15 May 1275, had with other issue two sons, Rudolf (1274-1319) who succeeded him as Elector, and founder of the Electoral Branch A (Palatinate, see later), and Ludwig III or IV (1282-1347), Duke of Bavaria, who succeeded to the entire Bavarian estates after the extinction of the line of Heinrich, and was founder of Branch B (Bavaria); he was elected King of the Romans (Germany) in 1314 and crowned Emperor 1328. The junior Bavarian line B continued to rule in Bavaria, and remained Catholic at the reformation; William V, Duke of Bavaria (1546-1628), named his elder son Maximilian (1573-1651) co-Duke of Bavaria 1594, and abdicated as ruler in his son’s favour 15 Oct 1597. Maximilian was elevated to the dignity of Elector of the Empire with the deprivation of that title from the Elector Palatine 25 Feb 1623 (this title restored by the Treaty of Westphalia 1648, increasing the number of Electors). Charles VII (1697-1745), Elector of Bavaria, was elected King of Bohemia 7 Dec 1741 (in opposition to the Archduchess Maria Theresia) but never took possession, and was elected Emperor 24 Jan 1742 (crowned 12 Feb 1742); his son Maximilian III Joseph, Elector of Bavaria, died without male issue 30 Dec 1777 when the junior line became extinct in the male line. The Electorate of Bavaria passed to the Elector Palatine, head of the senior line, by the terms of the Treaty of Westphalia.
