Districts of Bavaria-Straubing, 1353-1432. Bavaria-Straubing denotes the widely dispersed territorial inheritance of the Wittelsbach House of Bavaria which was ruled by independent Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing between 1353 and 1432; a map (illustration) of these marks and enclaves of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire, demonstrates vividly the fractionation of the lands where the primogeniture did not prevail. In 1349, after the death of Emperor Louis IV, his sons divided Bavaria once more: Lower Bavaria happened to Esteban II (died in 1375), Guillermo III of Hainaut (died in 1389) and Alberto (died in 1404). In 1353, Lower Bavaria was even more fractioned in Bavaria-Landshut and Bavaria-Straubing: Guillermo and Alberto received a part of the inheritance of Lower Bavaria, with capital in Straubing and rights over Hainaut and Holland, thus the Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing also were Counts of Hainaut, Counts of Holland, and of Zealand. In 1425, with the death of Duke John III, the male Dukes of Straubing became extinct, and its possessions were divided by the Dukes of Bavaria-Munich, Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Bavaria-Landshut alone in 1429 under the arbitration of the emperor. His niece Jacqueline became Countess of Hainaus in her own right. Dukes of Bavaria-Straubing
After the succession struggle between Jacqueline and his Uncle John, Bavaria-Straubing was divided between Bavaria-Ingolstadt, Bavaria-Landshut, and Bavaria-Munich. Notes
