List of 1632 Characters - Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria

Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria

Duke Albert VI of Bavaria (1584–1666) was Landgraf of Leuchtenberg and spouse of Mechthilde of Leuchtenberg (1588–1634). He was heir apparent to his childless brother Elector Maximilian I of Bavaria until the latter remarried Maria Anna of Austria, producing an heir.

In the 1632-series: During 1634: The Bavarian Crisis, he and his family were trampled during the 'witch hunt' for traitors by his brother Maximilian, the reigning duke. His wife and his oldest son Karl Johann Franz died, and both younger children (Maximilian Heinrich and Sigmund Albrecht) were missing. He then fled to exile in the NTL Bohemia ruled by Wallenstein. (The boys reached USE territory in 1634: The Baltic War.)
