The War of the Succession of Landshut resulted from a dispute between the duchies of
Holy Roman emperor
should inherit should a line fail.
Albert IV of Bavaria of the Munich line, thus disinherited, did not accept George's decision, leading to war in 1503. Over the course of this two-year war, many villages surrounding Landshut were reduced to ashes, such as Ergolding, Haimhausen and Landau an der Isar.[1][2]
The war ended in 1505 with the death of Elisabeth and her husband
Frederick II, Count Palatine of the Rhine
, served as regent in a caretaker regime. The rest of the territory went to the Munich line of the House of Wittelsbach.
The emperor took the territory around
Elector Palatine, where his additions to Heidelberg Castle, known as the Ottheinrichsbau, made him one of the most important builders of the German Renaissance.[3]
