§. I.
' I ^HE origin of thefe principalities, which, for the mofl: part, lie in
what is called the upper-palatinate, is as follows : George, Duke
oi Bavaria, oi i\\t Landeß:ut Ymt, dying, in the year 1503, without maleilTue,
left his territories to the Pfalzgrave Rupert, hufband to his daughter
Elizabeth and fon to Philip the Wife, Eledlor-palatine ; but this inheritance
gave rife to a war betwixt him and Duke Albert of Bavaria, of the
only furvivingline of Munich, in which the palatine-houfe proved unfuccefsful3
but, in the year i
507 this war was ended by a full compromife, by virtue
of which the children of the Pfalzgrave Rupert retained of the fucceffion of
the aforefäid Duke George, the town, caftle and amts of Neuburg, Hochßatt,
Lauingen, Gundelfingen, Monheim, Hilpoltllein, Heydeck, Weiden, Burkbeim,
Reichertjhofen, Laber, Allersberg, Flofa, Vohenjlraufz, Endorf, Kornkrunn,
Hainsberg, Graysbach and Burgftein ; and, on the other hand, the
defcendents of Duke Albei't of Bavaria, the lands of Sulzbach, Letigfeld,
Regenßauff, Velburg, Veldorf, Kalmunz, Scbivcigendorf, Schmidmuhl and
Hombauer. Thefe lands were originally called die junge pfalz, but this name
they did not retain long. They continued, however, in the houfe of the
Eledlor-palatine, and at laft, in the fons of the Ele(?T'or Philip Leivis,
namely, the Ffalzgraves Wolfgang William and Augußus, were divided into
two principalities ; viz. into the dutchy of Neuburg and the principality of
Sulzbach. Philip William, fon to the former of thefe Pfalzgraves, became
Eledtor-palatine ; but his fons and fuccefibrs, the Eleclors fobn William and
Charles Philip, dying both without male-iflue, the palatinate, together with
the dutchv of Neuburg came to the Sulzbach line, which derives its origin
from the above-mentioned Pfalzgrave Augußus ; fo that both principalities
