Louis VIII, Duke of Bavaria

Louis VIII, Duke of Bavaria

Louis VIII (1 September 1403 –7 April 1445) (German: "Ludwig VIII der Höckrige", Louis the Hunchback), was Duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt from 1443 until his death. He was born in Paris, a son of Louis VII and his first wife Anne de Bourbon. He died in 1445 at Ingolstadt.

Biography

Since 1438 Louis had been feuding with his father Louis VII, who gave undue preference to another (illegitimate) son. Louis allied with Henry XVI of Bavaria-Landshut against his father, who was finally taken prisoner in 1443, but Louis VIII died two years later. When Louis VII also died in 1447, Henry finally succeeded in Bavaria-Ingolstadt.
