Palatinate-Neuburg

1505–1808 · 16th century · Also known as Pfalz-Neuburg

Palatinate-Neuburg was a Wittelsbach principality of the Holy Roman Empire, created in 1505 after the Landshut War of Succession and centred on Neuburg an der Donau. Its ruler Wolfgang William became a Catholic in 1613 and gained Jülich and Berg in 1614, and in 1685 Philip William of Neuburg inherited the Electoral Palatinate. The Neuburg electors ruled until 1742, when the line died out and Charles Theodore of Sulzbach succeeded.
