- Background
- Duchess Magdalene of Bavaria, was the daughter of William V, Duke of Bavaria, and Renata of Lorraine.
- She became Duchess of Pfalzgraf Neuburg through her marriage to Wolfgang Wilhelm, Pfalzgraf von Neuburg. Magdalene was known to be a very pious and religious person. It was through her incessant prayer, and faith, that she was able to convert her Lutheran husband to Catholocism. At the time of her death, many of their subjects as well as her husband had returned to the Catholic faith. Because Magdalene’s husband, Wolfgang Wilham converted to Catholicism and practiced a strict policy of neutrality in the Thirty Years' War, his territories escaped widespread destruction.
- A Protestant nobleman is quoted as saying, “This Princess could very well justify the custom among the Catholics of invoking the saints; for to her, who is so full of mercy, I could take refuge and be certain that she would not refuse a single one of my requests.”
- Al, when Magdalene of Bavaria married Wolfgang Wilhelm, Pfalzgraf von Neuburg, she became Duchess Magdalene of Neuburg. Neuburg is misspelled on the COA. I was going to take pieces from the page, so if you want I can help with that.
- Magdalene of Bavaria (1587 - 1628) was the daughter of William V, Duke of Bavaria and Renata of Lorraine. In 1613 she married Wolfgang Wilhelm, Pfalzgraf von Neuburg. Their son was Philipp Wilhelm, Elector Palatine.
