; For eight years after the death of Christopher, there was no king in Denmark and the country was overrun by the Counts of Holstein.

Under his patronage, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark, and after long struggles a commercial relationship with the wealthy and power Hanseatic town of north Germany was achieved, though parts of Denmark had to be mortgaged to them, and they were given a say in the choice of the Danish king.⁵ Waldemar IV Atterdag (?)

     "Louis V, called the Brandenburger (May 1315 – 18 September 1361), a member of the House of Wittelsbach, ruled as Margrave of Brandenburg (as Louis I) from 1323 to 1351 and as Duke of Bavaria from 1347 until his death. From 1342 he also was co-ruling Count of Tyrol by his marriage with the Meinhardiner countess Margaret.
Biography
     "Louis V was the eldest son of King Louis IV and his first wife, the Piast princess Beatrice of ?widnica. His father, Duke of Bavaria since 1294, had been elected King of the Romans in 1314, rivalled by the Habsburg anti-king Frederick the Fair. He had to defend his rights in a lengthy throne quarrel, finally defeated Frederick's forces in the 1322 Battle of Mühldorf, and in 1328 received the Imperial crown; though not by the Pope but by the "Roman people" led by Sciarra Colonna.
Margrave of Brandenburg
     "Upon his victory at Mühldorf, the king took the occasion to seize the princeless Margraviate of Brandenburg, where the last Ascanian ruler Henry the Child had died without heirs in 1320. Ignoring the claims raised by Henry's Ascanian relative Duke Rudolf I of Saxe-Wittenberg, a supporter of his Habsburg rival anyway, he appointed his eldest son Louis margrave in 1323. Still a minor, he remained under tutelage of Count Berthold VII of Henneberg, who acted as a Brandenburg regent. Duke Rudolf I in late 1324 renounced the Brandenburg estates in turn for a compensation.[1]
     "To further strengthen the rule of the Wittelsbach dynasty in Northern Germany, Margrave Louis was married to Princess Margaret (1305–1340), the eldest daughter of King Christopher II of Denmark, in 1324. Nevertheless, the Wittelsbach rule in Brandenburg never earned much popular support. As a consequence of the murder of Provost Nikolaus von Bernau by Berlin and Cölln citizens in 1325, the twin-town was punished with a papal interdict. Subsequently, the public unrest led to a resurgence of the centuries-long Brandenburg–Pomeranian conflict from 1328 onwards. The Pomeranian dukes had to withdraw from the Uckermark region after a series of battles throughout the late 1320s and early 1330s.[2] In 1330, they took their duchy as a papal fief to circumvent the Brandenburg claims. In 1338, they finally concluded a peace with the Wittelsbach margrave, who renounced his claims on overlordship but maintained the right of succession.[3]
     "Having received the Brandenburg princely territory as a fiefdom, Louis contributed to the 1338 Declaration at Rhense, emphasizing his father's rights against the interference by Pope Benedict XII. In 1340, he and Count John III of Holstein backed Valdemar IV, brother of Louis' wife Margaret, to succeed to the Danish throne. The House of Wittelsbach maintained good relations to the Danish court, even after Margaret's death in the same year.
     "From 1342 onwards, Margrave Louis mainly stayed in Bavaria and Tyrol. On 10 February 1342, he married the Tyrolean countess Margaret (Margarethe Maultasch), in order to acquire her estates for the Wittelsbach family; nevertheless, she was not yet divorced from her previous husband, the Luxembourg prince John Henry. The year before Margaret had expelled her husband from Tyrol. John Henry was a son of King John I of Bohemia, who had deposed Margaret's father, Henry of Gorizia-Tyrol as King of Bohemia in 1310. While Emperor Louis IV had the scholars William of Ockham and Marsilius of Padua defend this first "civil marriage" of the Middle Ages, Pope Clement VI, however, immediately excommunicated the couple and the scandal was known across Europe. Though Tyrol was punished with a papal interdict, and the Bishops of Brixen and Trent strongly objected to Louis' rule, the Wittelsbachs were able to gain the support of the local nobles by granting them numerous privileges.
Duke of Bavaria
     "When his father died in October 1347, Louis succeeded him as Duke of Bavaria as well as Count of Holland, Zeeland and Hainaut, together with his five brothers. On 12 September 1349, Bavaria and the Wittelsbach possessions in the Low Countries were partitioned: Margrave Louis and his younger brothers Louis VI the Roman and Otto V the Bavarian received Upper Bavaria; their brothers Stephen II, William I and Albert I received Lower Bavaria, Holland and Hainaut.
     "Still banned, Margrave Louis could not apply for the German crown and his party tried to move the Wettin margrave Frederick II of Meissen to the acceptance of the royal title, however, he mistrusted the inconstancy of his voters and rejected the request. Louis then negotiated with his father's ally King Edward III of England to compete against the new Luxembourg king Charles IV, the elder brother of Margaret's husband John Henry. Edward was indeed elected on 10 January 1348 at Lahnstein, but resigned just four months later. Finally, the Wittelsbach party elected Count Günther von Schwarzburg as anti-king in 1349. Louis V successfully resisted Charles IV even though Günther von Schwarzburg's kingship failed. He managed to keep all possessions for the Wittelsbach dynasty until his death.
     "First Louis successfully repulsed an attack of Charles IV against Tyrol in 1347. In alliance with Denmark and Pomerania, he then drove back a revolt in 1348 - 1350 caused by the conman "False Waldemar," an imposter who pretended to be Waldemar, Margrave of Brandenburg, claiming he had been declared dead erroneously while on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.[4] Probably a strawman of the Luxembourg emperor Charles IV, and/or the Anhalt and Saxon branches of the House of Ascania, he was invested with the margraviate between 1348 and 1350, and took on his position as a margrave with military support of Charles IV and the Ascanians.[5] The Wittelsbachs were expelled from most of Brandenburg and only controlled the Neumark territory and some adjacent areas.[4] Together with Denmark, the Pomeranian dukes sided with the Wittelsbachs, and the alliance had gained already ground in 1350 when the conflict ended With the Treaty of Bautzen (16 February): Louis finally came to terms with Charles IV, who re-invested the House of Wittelsbach with Brandenburg.[5] The civil war caused a huge devastation in Brandenburg.
     "Louis released Brandenburg in December 1351 to his brothers Louis VI and Otto V, in exchange for the sole rule of Upper Bavaria. Louis then combined the administration of Upper Bavaria and Tyrol, residing both in Munich and Meran. In 1349 and 1352 he issued two decrees to relieve the consequences of the plague and enabled Jews to re-settle in the Upper Bavarian lands.
     "Louis VI the Roman, Brandeburg margrave between 1351 and 1365, had to re-establish the Wittelsbach rule against the opposition of the Ascanians, which he accomplished by 1355.[6] During this process, the Brandenburg-Pomeranian border in the Uckermark was finally settled in 1354.[6][7] With the Golden Bull of 1356, only the Palatinate branch of the Wittelsbach family and Louis VI the Roman as Margrave of Brandenburg were invested with the electoral dignity, which caused a new conflict between Louis V and Charles IV.
     "Duke Louis V maintained good relations with his Habsburg relatives and in 1352 helped arbitrate conflicts of Duke Albert II of Austria with the Swiss Confederacy. When Louis' son Meinhard III married Margaret of Austria, the daughter of Duke Albert II, in September 1359, he and his consort were absolved from their excommunication with the support of the Habsburg family.
     "Louis suddenly died in September 1361 in Zorneding near Munich during a ride from Tyrol to Munich. He was succeeded by his son Meinhard III who died two years later, whereafter his mother Margaret bequeathed her Tyrolean estates to the Habsburg duke Rudolf IV of Austria. Louis V is buried in the Munich Frauenkirche.
Family and children
     "Louis was married two times.
     "1. 1324: Margrete of Denmark (1305–1340), daughter of King Christopher II of Denmark
     "2. 1342: Margaret, Countess of Tyrol (1318–1369), daughter of King Henry of Bohemia, wife of John Henry of Luxembourg (divorced in 1349)

     "Ludwig IV 'der Bayer' was born on 1 April 1282, the son of Ludwig II 'der Strenge', Herzog von Bayern, and his second wife Mathilde von Habsburg. In 1294 he followed his father as duke of Bavaria, but with his brother Rudolf and his mother acting as his regents. About 1309 he married Beatrix von Schlesien-Glogau, daughter of Bolko I von Schlesien, Herzog von Jauer und Schweidnitz, and Markgräfin Beatrix von Brandenburg. They had six children of whom two sons and a daughter who would have progeny.
     "On 20 October 1314 he was elected German king (emperor-elect) and he was crowned as emperor in Aachen on 25 November of the same year. In 1322 at the battle of Mühldorf he defeated Friedrich of Austria and consolidated his position. Ludwig's wife Beatrix died the same year, and on 26 February 1324 he married Margarethe, countess of Holland, Zeeland and Hainault, daughter of Willem III 'the Good', Graaf van Holland and Hainault, and Jeanne de Valois. They had nine children of whom two sons and two daughters would have progeny.
     "When Ludwig asked for the blessing of Pope John XXII on his coronation as emperor, the pope refused, giving rise to a violent disagreement between them. The ideas of Marsilius of Padua and William of Ockham on the invalidity of the pope's temporal power provided ammunition for Ludwig. On 23 March 1324 the pope excommunicated Ludwig. In 1327 he led a German army into Italy to fight for the independence of the German crown and free Germany from a pope who was only interested in obtaining free land for himself in Italy.
     "The last imperial puppet-pope was appointed when in 1328 Ludwig IV declared Pope John XXII deposed and replaced him with an obscure Franciscan as 'Nicholas V', who crowned Ludwig again in Rome on 17 January 1328. Nicholas V then left Rome in the imperial baggage train, and his ignominious reign ended in capture and imprisonment in 1330. In 1337 Ludwig entered into an alliance with Edward III, king of England, as Philippe VI, king of France had started to prey on German territory. In 1338 the leader of the Church in Germany approached the restored Pope John XXII and asked him to forgive Ludwig, which the pope refused to do, causing ill feeling against the pope throughout Germany. In 1340 war broke out between England and France, and the French lost the battle of Sluys, which stopped the French king from seizing more German territory. Ludwig only half-heartedly supported the English as the German princes withdrew their support.
     "On 20 December 1340 Ludwig inherited Lower-Bavaria. He died on 11 October 1347 while hunting bears at Fürstenfeld near Munich."¹⁷ EDV-19.

He set out to aggrandize his branch of the family. He invested his eldest son with the Margravate of Brandenburg when the Ascanian house became extinct. He saw to it that the sons by his 2d marriage (to Margaret of Holland) succeeded to the county of Holland. However, when Ludwig died his sons began a process of dividing Bavaria into individual fiefs. This continued until it was pretty much re-united in 1506.^3,5

     "LUDWIG von Bayern, son of LUDWIG II "der Strenge" joint Duke of Bavaria & his third wife Mechtild von Habsburg ([Feb/Mar] 1282-Puch bei Fürstenfeldbruck 11 Oct 1347, bur Munich Unsere Liebe Frau). The Notæ Fuerstenfeldenses name "Rudolfum…primogenitus…et Ludovicum ducem iuniorem" as sons of Duke Ludwig & his third wife[594]. His brother associated him with the government in 1300 or 1304 as LUDWIG IV joint Duke of Upper Bavaria and joint Pfalzgraf bei Rhein (the single electoral vote being held jointly), and partitioned his Bavarian territories with him in 1310. In 1313, Ludwig became sole Duke of Bavaria. Elected LUDWIG "der Bayer" King of Germany at Frankfurt-am-Main 20 Oct 1314, crowned at Aachen 25 Nov 1314. The nickname is a survival of the term of address "Ludovicus Bavarus" used by Pope John XXII to indicate his non-recognition of Ludwig's election as king of Germany[595]. He deprived his brother Rudolf I of the Palatinate in 1314, and forced him to abdicate in his favour in 1317 from which time Ludwig governed all the territories alone. After several years of war with his rival in Germany, Lud wig defeated and captured Friedrich of Austria at Mühldorf, near the River Inn, in 1322. Ludwig was actively opposed by Pope John XXII who accused him of assuming the German throne without papal confirmation, excommunicated him and placed the whole of Germany under an interdict in 1324[596]. In 1325, he finally recognised Friedrich as joint-king. He was crowned King of Italy at Milan 31 May 1327, despite further moves against him by the Pope in Avignon, and was received enthusiastically by the people in Rome where he was crowned Emperor LUDWIG IV on 17 Jan 1328. He called himself Ludwig IV as Emperor, although he was in fact the fifth Emperor Ludwig. Pope John XXII declared the coronation void and excommunicated him again, while Ludwig declared the Pope deposed and installed the Spiritual Franciscan Nicholas V as anti-Pope[597]. In 1329, he agreed the Convention of Pavia with his nephews Rudolf II and Ruprecht I under which the latter jointly received the Palatinate while Ludwig IV continued as sole ruler of Upper Bavaria. Ludwig's anti-papal position received support in Germany from 1338, when the electors declared in his favour at Obstgaten near Rhens on 16 Jun 1338, issuing a treaty for the preservation of imperial and electoral prerogatives[598]. In 1338, Ludwig recognised the claim of Edward III King of England to the French throne and prepared for war with France, though eventually adopted a position of neutrality in the dispute[599]. He succeeded his relative Johann “das Kind” in 1340 as Duke of Lower Bavaria, thus joining all the Bavarian territories once more. Ludwig alienated his ecclesiastical supporters in 1342 when he arranged the divorce of Margareta "Maultasch" Gräfin von Tirol from her first husband and her remarriage to his son Ludwig. He was declared deposed 11 Jul 1346, and Charles de Luxembourg was chosen as his successor. The Historia Episcoporum Pataviensium et Ducum Bavariæ records the death in 1347 of "Ludwicus imperator"[600]. The necrology of Fürstenfeld records the death "II Non Oct" of "Ludovici marchionis, Superoris Bavariæ ducis"[601]. The necrology of Diessen records the death "V Id Oct 1347" of "Ludwicus imperator Romanorum filius ducis Ludwici Bawarie, fundator in Etal"[602]. He died during a bear hunt when he had a stroke and fell from his horse[603].

     "MARGUERITE de Hainaut (24 Jun 1310-Le Quesnoy 23 Jun 1356, bur Valenciennes). The Willelmi Capellani in Brederode Chronicon ("Procurator") records the betrothal of "Willelmus comes Hollandie binas filias", adding "quarum prima" (unnamed) was betrothed to "regi Germanie", dated to 1323 from the context[487]. The same source records the marriages of the same two daughters taking place at Köln 26 Feb 1324[488]. Prior to this, negotiations took place between 1318 and 1321 for Marguerite to marry the future Edward III King of England, who later married Marguerite’s younger sister Philippa, but the betrothal did not proceed because of Papal opposition: Edward II King of England requested Papal dispensation for the marriage of his son Edward to Marguerite de Hainaut dated 10 Dec 1318 and 9 Nov 1320; Bishop Walter Stapeldon’s report dated [Jan/Mar] 1318, after visiting the court of Hainaut, records that "the daughter of the count Hainault" (unnamed) would be nine years old on "St John’s day next te come", indicating her birth 24 Jun 1310; limited Papal dispensation was granted 25 Apr 1321 for Guillaume Comte de Hainaut to marry his daughter to a relative of 3o or 4o consanguinity, with the exception of the son of the king of England[489]. The contract of marriage between Marguerite and Ludwig IV Duke of Bavaria is dated 15 Aug 1323[490].
