Wittelsbach (Royal house : 1180-1918)
The Wittelsbach dynasty ruled the German territories of Bavaria from 1180 to 1918 and the Electorate of the Palatinate from 1214 until 1805. In both countries they had succeeded rulers from the House of Welf. The house held numerous other titles across Europe, and were related by marriage to the House of Hannover and House of Stuart. Two members of the family were Holy Roman Emperors.
