Family Tree, Dukes of Bavaria, Kings of Bavaria

Note that Dukes called Louis are usually numbered from Louis the Kelheimer (r. 1189–1231), although four Dukes of Bavaria had been called Louis before that. The same applies to Dukes called Otto, who are sometimes renumbered starting with Otto III, the first Wittelsbach Duke of Bavaria. The highest number has been used in this chart to minimise confusion, with one exception: Ludwig is the German for Louis, but Kings Ludwig I, II and III are not numbered XV, XVI and XVII.

The colours denote the Dukes, Electors and Kings over the following regions of Bavaria and under the following circumstances:

– Dukes of Bavaria

– Regents and pretenders to the Bavarian throne

– Dukes of Lower Bavaria

– Dukes of Upper Bavaria

– Dukes of Bavaria-Lanshut

– Dukes of Bavaria-Ingolstadt

– Dukes of Bavaria-Munich

– Dukes of Bavaria-Munich-Dachau

– Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing

– Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing, disputed

Family Tree of the Ducal and Royal Wittelsbach

Note that Dukes called Louis are usually numbered from Louis the Kelheimer (r. 1189–1231), although four Dukes of Bavaria had been called Louis before that. The same applies to Dukes called Otto, who are sometimes renumbered starting with Otto III, the first Wittelsbach Duke of Bavaria. The highest number has been used in this chart to minimise confusion, with one exception: Ludwig is the German for Louis, but Kings Ludwig I, II and III are not numbered XV, XVI and XVII.

The colours denote the Dukes, Electors and Kings over the following regions of Bavaria and under the following circumstances:

– Dukes of Bavaria, Kings of Bavaria after 1806

- Elector and Count Palatine of the Rhine
