Topic: House of Palatinate


  
  House of Vasa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House of Vasa was the Royal House of Sweden (1523-1654) and of Poland (1587-1668).
The throne passed to her cousin Charles X of the House of Palatinate (Pfalz-Zweibrücken), a cadet branch of the Wittelsbachs.
We thus have two Houses of Vasa from this point onwards: the senior, Catholic branch ruling in Poland, and the cadet, Protestant branch ruling in Sweden.

At the peace of Westphalia in I648 the Palatinate was restored to Fredericks son, Charles Louis, but it was shorn of the upper Palatinate, which Bavaria retained as the prize of war.
His successor was his kinsman, Charles Theodore, count palatine of Suizbach, a cadet of the Zweibrucken-Neuburg line, and now with the exception of one or two small pieces the whole of the Palatinate was united under one ruler.
In 1777 on the extinction of the other branch of the house of Wittelsbach, he became elector of Bavaria, and the Palatinate was henceforward united with Bavaria, the electors capital being Munich.

 Palatinate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A palatinate is an area administered by a count palatine, originally the direct representative of the sovereign, but later the hereditary ruler of the territory subject to the crown's overlordship.
In the Golden Bull of 1356, the Palatinate was made one of the secular electorates, and given the hereditary offices of Archsteward of the Empire and Imperial Vicar of the western half of Germany.
The Palatinate was dissolved in the Wars of the French Revolution - first its left bank territories were occupied, and then annexed, by France starting in 1795, and then, in 1803, its right bank territories were taken by the Margrave of Baden.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rhenish Palatinate
In the Carlovingian period the count palatine was merely the representative of the king in the high court of justice.
For the Palatinate little was gained by the war, which lasted until 1505; only the city of Neuburg on the Danube with its environs was ceded to the sons of Rupprecht, who had fallen in battle, as the "New Palatinate", while the rest was given to Upper Bavaria.
The occupation of the Palatinate by the French (1688-89) was also to the advantage of the Catholics, as the French gave them complete or joint possession of a number of churches, and the title to the property thus attained by the Catholics in many places was upheld by the Peace of Ryswick.

The Palatinate or German PFALZ, was, in German history, the land of the Count Palatine, a title held by a leading secular prince of the Holy Roman Empire.
There were many reasons for the desire of the Palatines to emigrate to the New World: oppressive taxation, religious bickering, hunger for more and better land, the advertising of the English colonies in America and the favourable attitude of the British government toward settlement in the North American colonies.
There were 3000 Palatines on 10 ships that sailed for NY and approximately 470 died on the voyage or shortly after their arrival.
