- Stephen III, Duke of Bavaria
Duke Stephen III of Bavaria (German, in full: "Stephan III der Kneißl, Herzog von Bayern"; 1337 — September 26, 1413, Niederschönfeld) was a Duke of Bavaria since 1375. He was the eldest son of Stephen II and Elizabeth of Sicily.
From 1375 to 1392 he ruled with his brothers Frederick and John II in Bavaria-Landshut. In 1392 Bavaria-Landshut was reduced since Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Bavaria-Munich were created. John had initiated a new partition of Bavaria since he refused to finance the Italian adventures of his brothers and Stephen's expensive holding of court. Stephen III received Bavaria-Ingolstadt after the division of Bavaria, he soon considered this agreement as a disadvantage. In 1395-1397 he then jointly held also Bavaria-Munich together with John II after an armed conflict between both brothers. After the death of both of his brothers Stephen tried to extent his duchy. This caused a long conflict with his nephews. In opposite to them Stephen also supported King Rupert against the Luxemburg party.He was forced by his nephew Ernest to confine his reign to Bavaria-Ingolstadt in 1402 and therefore supported the uprisings of the citizenry of Munich in 1403 which failed. His attempt in 1410 to reconquer Tyrol which his father once had released to Habsburg was not successful.
