Upper Palatinate

The Upper Palatinate, Bavaria’s northeastern corner, is perhaps Germany’s sleepiest region.

People in the Upper Palatinate in Eastern Germany have been sharing brewhouses for centuries, and many still do it today.

His brother-in-law the Duke of Bavaria, then owner of the Upper Palatinate, and of the ducal title which was Rupert's birthright, suggested that the boy's spirit was not yet broken, and urged the Emperor to deprive him of his privileges.

The Emperor settled the Upper Palatinate on his brother-in-law, the Duke of Bavaria, and, though the Lower Palatinate clung tenaciously to its Elector, Frederick was never able to return thither, until, many years later, the intervention of the quixotic King of Sweden won him a brief and evanescent success.

The Dukes of Bavaria remain’d in Possession of the Upper Palatinate, and of the Dignity of first Elector.
