Rivalry with the Habsburgs

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.32. |
The progress of the Habsburgs in Austria is a constant thorn in our side, as we watch them make their domains stronger and now have a member of their house on the Imperial Throne. It is over a century since we had a Wittelsbach on that throne, and it must soon be remedied. Opposition to the Count of Habsburg must always be our foremost duty!

Wilhelm IV became a political leader of the counter-reformation movement in Germany, with close cooperation with the Pope and banning many reformers from Bavaria. In 1541, he invited the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, to come to Bavaria. This order did great work in reviving the Catholic Church from its headquarters in the Bavarian town of Ingolstadt.

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.32. |
Duke Albert V of Bavaria was a patron of the arts who gathered a grand collection of art and antiquities in Munich. He bought whole collections in Rome and Venice, storing his antiquities in his Antiquarium, the largest renaissance hall north of the Alps. He patronized many artists and brought splendor to Munich, but this led to a huge burden of debt.

Ingolstadt and its surrounding areas have traditionally produced wine. However, following the trend of other parts of Bavaria, where beer is favored, an increasing number of breweries have been founded in the city. Should we wish it, we could give these nascent breweries our support and allow beer to replace wine as the main export of the province.

The Religious Mandate of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName]
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.32. |
The rapid spread of Protestantism has alarmed many of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName]'s staunchly Catholic councillors. To prevent it from spreading to our lands, they have drawn up a set of regulations that forbid heretical teachings in our lands and combat religious deficiencies among both the Bavarian bishops and our subjects. A commission shall be instituted to carry out religious visitations, printing shall only be allowed with the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]'s permission, and every liturgical change emerging from lands that have fallen to heresies shall be forbidden. Although the clergy would chafe under these heavy restrictions, they would likely be effective in preventing the spread of heresies.

In previous years, we instituted a religious mandate to prevent the spread of heresies in our land. This proved successful, and we have weathered the so-called Reformation without compromising on our faith. Now that the threats to Catholicism have been weathered, it is time for the mandate to end and the restrictions we had imposed on the clergy to be lifted.

Hanns Steininger's Beard
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.32. |
The city of Braunau has recently distinguished itself in a most unusual fashion. One of their former magistrates, a certain Hanns Steininger, has contributed to his town less with his insight than with his beard. Said beard was widely considered a fine specimen of male facial hair, reaching close to his toes (and he was not a short man). However, he was fated to fall victim to the very trait which made him remarkable: As he showed his allegiance to [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName], who was passing through, he stumbled over his beard, fell badly, and subsequently died of his injuries - a martyr to his conceited beauty!

[Root.Consort.GetTitle] [Root.Consort.GetName] urges [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] to pledge to fund a magnificent church for the Theatine Order in [Root.Capital.GetCapitalName] if an heir to the throne is born. She has already chosen a Bolognese architect, Agostino Barelli, to build the church in the Italian high baroque style. Our aristocracy and wealthy burghers are quite taken by the plans, which she has allowed to become widely known, as they are strong admirers of the fashionable Italian style.

The Bavarian nobility in [bavarian_lesser_union_member.GetName] resent being ruled from distant Denmark. They yearn for the days when they might, once again, be ruled by one of their own.\n\nOver the past months, there have been signs that a plot was underway, but our authorities were unable to confirm these rumors. However, there can be no further doubt: A group of rebellious nobles have rallied behind Maximilian, a prince from an obscure branch of the von Wittelsbach family, and taken up arms against us, declaring him their Duke.

Transfer the Palatine Electorate to Bavaria?

Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.32. |
Bavaria: Having added dominion over the County of the Electoral Palatinate to our list of titles, this would seem to be the ideal moment to claim for ourselves the Electorate which the Palatine branch of the Wittelsbach family held.
Other countries: Having reunited the holdings of the House of Wittelsbach in [From.Monarch.GetHerHis] person, [From.Monarch.GetTitle] [From.Monarch.GetName] of [From.GetUsableName] appeals to us to ensure that [From.Monarch.GetHerHis] rights to the Electorate be respected. As the rightful ruler of both [From.GetUsableName] and the Palatinate, [From.Monarch.GetSheHe] requests that, in accordance with [From.GetUsableName]'s supposed historical claims to the Electorate (which [From.Monarch.GetSheHe] has been trumpeting widely), the Electorate be transferred from the Palatinate to [From.GetUsableName].

The Bavarian Succession
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.32. |
The Wittelsbach Duchy of Bavaria has been split in various parts since the middle of the 14th century. At present, the Duchy is divided between three different branches of the family - those of Munich, Landshut and Ingolstadt. Various complicated arrangements regulate which branch of the family should inherit the lands of any Duke who may die without a male heir. However, these arrangements are not always above dispute, and a strong Duke may try to aggrandize himself with his relatives' land, no matter whether his claim is entirely just.

Following the death of Ludwig VIII of Ingolstadt, [LBV.Monarch.GetTitle] [LBV.Monarch.GetName] of Landshut has claimed Ingolstadt's territories for himself. However, this would be to ignore the claims of Ludwig VII, who was driven from his land by his son some years ago and has since been the prisoner of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] in Ansbach. Having heard of his son's death, Ludwig VII has been making noises about reclaiming his former Duchy. This could offer us a chance to extract some gain from this affair.

We were not the only ones with the rights to Ingolstadt - arguably, Ludwig VII, Ludwig VIII's father who was driven out of the duchy by his son, had the better claim. However, Ludwig has been held prisoner by [From.Monarch.GetTitle] [From.Monarch.GetName] of Ansbach for the past several years. Now, the [From.GetAdjective] [From.Monarch.GetTitle] has used [From.Monarch.GetHerHis] considerable talents of persuasion - and a large lump sum of money - to persuade Ludwig to sell [From.Monarch.GetHerHim] his rights to the Wittelsbach inheritance.

The current war with [emperors_enemy.GetUsableName] has placed a great strain on our coffers. Our advisors point out that the city of Regensburg owes us a large amount of money. They are confident that we can persuade the city to pay up by threatening them with our disfavor. However, demanding such a large amount of money from them will likely destabilize the government of the city, and the Wittelsbach family, which has strong ties to the city, may intercede on their behalf.

Over the past decades, the city of Regensburg has accumulated considerable debts towards the [HAB.Monarch.Dynasty.GetName] Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Now, Emperor [HAB.Monarch.GetName] is calling in [HAB.Monarch.GetHerHis] debts in order to fund their war with [emperors_enemy.GetUsableName]. However, given our strong connection to Regensburg - it was, in the past, a Wittelsbach capital - we are in a position to intercede. If we can gather together the funds needed to pay off their debts, it would be well within our rights to offer Regensburg to transfer their debts to us, essentially meaning that we will pay their debts in return for their freedom. However, the Austrians might hold a dim view of such transactions.
