Louis III. (February 9, 1269 – May 13, 1296) was duke of Lower Bavaria from 1290 until 1296 as co-regent with his brothers Otto III and Stephen I .
Louis was born in Landshut , the son of Henry XIII, Duke of Bavaria and Elizabeth of Hungary .
His maternal grandparents were Béla IV of Hungary and Maria Laskarina .
When Henry died in February 1290, his three sons ruled Lower Bavaria. They were Otto III, Louis III, and Stephen I.[ 1]
Louis was known for his expensive holding of court which led to a tax increase. He was married to Isabelle, a daughter of Frederick III, Duke of Lorraine but died childless in 1296.
