From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bavaria-Straubing
denotes the widely scattered territorial inheritance in the
Wittelsbach
house of Bavaria that were governed by independent dukes of Bavaria-Straubing between 1353 and 1432; a map (

) of these
marches
and outliers of the
Holy Roman Empire
, vividly demonstrates the fractionalisation of lands where
primogeniture
did not obtain. In 1349, after
Emperor Louis IV
's death, his sons divided Bavaria once again:
Lower Bavaria
passed to Stephan II (died 1375), William (died 1389) and Albert (died 1404). In 1353, Lower Bavaria was further partitioned into
Bavaria-Landshut
and Bavaria-Straubing: William and Albert received a part of the Lower Bavarian inheritance, with a capital in
Straubing
and rights to Hainaut and Holland.
[1]
Thus the dukes of Bavaria-Straubing were also
counts of Hainaut
,
counts of Holland
, and of
Zeeland
.
In 1425, with the death of Duke John III, the Straubing dukes became extinct in the male line. His possessions were partitioned between the Dukes of
Bavaria-Munich
,
Bavaria-Landshut
and
Bavaria-Ingolstadt
in 1429 under arbitration of the emperor. His niece Jacqueline became Countess of Hainaut in her own right.
Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing
[

]
After the succession struggle between Jacqueline and her uncle John, Bavaria-Straubing was divided between
Bavaria-Ingolstadt
,
Bavaria-Landshut
, and
Bavaria-Munich
.

Stephan II received the rest of Lower Bavaria. Jacqueline never ruled Bavaria. She bore the title, but women could not rule in Bavaria. She did rule in Holland and Hainault. Her uncle Johann succeeded her father Wilhelm in Bavaria-Straubing, and was the last ruler of his branch.
