On Otto II's death, <strong>Bavaria</strong> was divided between his sons. Henry became Duke <strong>of</strong> Lower<br />
<strong>Bavaria</strong>, and Louis <strong>of</strong> Upper <strong>Bavaria</strong>. From this point until the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 16th century,<br />
the territories were frequently divided between brothers, making the Dukes difficult to<br />
list.<br />
In Lower <strong>Bavaria</strong>, Henry XIII was succeeded by his three sons, Otto III, Louis III, and<br />
Stephen I ruling jointly. Otto III's successor in the joint dukedom was his son Henry XV.<br />
Stephen's successors were his sons Otto IV and Henry XIV. Henry XIV's son was John I.
