- John II, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken
John II the Younger ( _de. Johann II. der Jüngere) (26 March 1584 – 9 August 1635) was the Duke of Zweibrücken from 1604 until 1635.
Life
John was born in Bergzabern in 1584 as the eldest son of John I, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken. He succeeded his father in 1604. In 1606 he acquired the County of Bischweiler in Alsace. From 1610 until 1612 he was the guardian of Frederick V, Elector Palatine. In this function he was briefly the deputy of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II in 1612, and he minted coins with the Imperial two-headed eagle on reverse to illustrate this point.
John died in 1635 in Metz and was buried in the Alexanderkirche in Zweibrücken.
