 Wikinfo | Holy Roman Empire elector   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
In the Holy Roman Empire, the electors or electoral princes (the German term is "Kurfürst", the plural: "Kurfürsten") had the function of electing the king of Germany preparatory to his accession as the next emperor, though until the 12th century they often merely formalized what was in fact a dynastic succession.
The seven electors first appeared as such in 1257, after the death of William of Holland, but the first election did not succeed as both Richard of Cornwall and Alfonso X of Castile each received three votes and the Bohemian king agreed to both.
In 1623, the Elector Palatine Frederick V was banned for his involvement with the revolt of Bohemia, and his electorate was given to the Duke of Bavaria (Maximilian I), who became known as the Elector of Bavaria.

 Maximilian of Bavaria, duke then elector
Maximilian was 45 in 1618, and had ruled Bavaria for over 20 years since the abdication of his father, who was living in retirement at the start of the war.
What the electors were united on was their opposition to Wallenstein, and on 28 March they told Ferdinand that they would not elect his son Ferdinand as King of the Romans (effectively heir to the Empire), unless Wallenstein went.
He had been forced out of his own Bavaria, forcing him to welcome the appointment of Ferdinand's son Ferdinand of Hungary as commander of the Imperial troops, and in 1635 to sign the Peace of Prague, forcing him to dissolve the Catholic league, and place his armies under direct Imperial command.

He was carefully educated under the supervision of his uncle, Duke Christian IV of Zweibriicken, took service in 1777 as a colonel in the French army and rose rapidly to the rank of major-general.
On April 1 1795 he succeeded his brother, Charles II, as duke of Zweibriicken, and on February 16 1799 became elector of Bavaria on the extinction of the Sulzbach line with the death of the elector Charles Theodore.
At Vienna and afterwards Maximilian sturdily opposed any reconstitution of Germany which should endanger the independence of Bavaria, and it was his insistence on the principle of full sovereignty being left to the German reigning princes that largely contributed to the loose and weak organization of the new German Confederation.

 Nymphenburg - Old And Sold Antiques Auction & Marketplace
Under the Elector of Bavaria, Max Joseph III, an hard paste porcelain factory was established as a State enterprise at Naudeck, in 1747, with the aid of the expert, Joseph Jacob Ringler, from Vienna.
Under the patronage of the Elector Max Toseph, the royal factory flourished exceedingly and, in 1765, employed two hundred workmen.
The next Elector, however, felt no especial interest in the making of porcelain and from 1777 to 1799 the manufacture languished and the working force of the factory was cut down so that it can scarcely be said to have done more than barely exist.

In 1818 he granted a liberal constitution, and, unlike the neighboring reactionary rulers, he continued to rule as an "enlightened monarch." He was succeeded by his son, Louis I. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia Copyright © 2003, Columbia University Press.

Pius VI erected this nunciature upon the urgent request of the Elector of Bavaria, who was loath to have parts of his territory under the spiritual jurisdiction of bishops who, being electors like himself, were rather his equals than his subordinates.
Finally the Elector of Bavaria asked for the above-mentioned nunciature, and despite the protests of the archbishops his wish was granted.
The Elector of Bavaria likewise remained a zealous defender of the pope and his nuncio at Munich, and even the Protestant King Frederick II of Prussia was an opponent of the "Punctation" and favoured the nuncio Pacca at Cologne.

Although a state of the Holy Roman Empire whose elevation to the electoral dignity during the early stages of the war provoked anger and fear among the Protestant princes, Bavaria's "League" armies often rivaled the size and importance of those of the Holy Roman Empire itself.
By the turn of the century, Elector Ma Emmanuel II, also known as "The Blue King" for the Willelsbach blue of his infantry uniforms, was an experienced and renowned soldier.
However, most of Bavaria's 6lb artillery pieces was captured at Schellenberg, so speculatively, we have assigned 4lb (from the French) light guns, 12 pieces (or 3 stands) to defend the front of the Bavarian army.
