Everything about Stephen Iii Duke Of Bavaria totally explained
Duke Stephen III of
Bavaria (
German, in full:
Stephan III der Kneißl, Herzog von Bayern;
1337 —
September 26,
1413,
Niederschönfeld) was a Duke of Bavaria since
1375. He was the eldest son of
Stephen II and
Elizabeth of Sicily.
From
1375 to
1392 he ruled with his brothers
Frederick and
John II in Bavaria-Landshut. In 1392 Bavaria-Landshut was reduced since Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Bavaria-Munich were created. John had initiated a new partition of Bavaria since he refused to finance the Italian adventures of his brothers and Stephen's expensive holding of court. Stephen III received Bavaria-
Ingolstadt after the division of Bavaria, he soon considered this agreement as a disadvantage. In
1395-
1397 he then jointly held also Bavaria-Munich together with John II after an armed conflict between both brothers.
After the death of both of his brothers Stephen tried to extent his duchy. This caused a long conflict with his nephews. In opposite to them Stephen also supported King
Rupert against the
Luxemburg party.
He was forced by his nephew
Ernest to confine his reign to Bavaria-
Ingolstadt in
1402 and therefore supported the uprisings of the citizenry of Munich in
1403 which failed. His attempt in
1410 to reconquer
Tyrol which his father once had released to
Habsburg wasn't successful.
Family and children
He was married two times. First, he married
13 October 1364 with
Taddaea Visconti, daughter of
Bernabò Visconti and
Beatrice della Scala. Second, he married in
Cologne 16 January 1401 with
Elisabeth of Cleves, daughter of Count
Adolf III of Cleves. He had from first marriage a son
Louis VII the Bearded, who succeeded him in Bavaria-Ingolstadt, and a daughter, who was the French queen
Isabeau of Bavaria.
