Their story
Albert I, a scion of the House of Wittelsbach, was born in Munich on July 25, 1336. His life was defined by his extensive ducal responsibilities, encompassing not only Bavaria but also the counties of Holland, Zeeland, and Hainaut through inheritance. He navigated complex political landscapes, consolidating his family's power and influence across these diverse territories. His reign, spanning several decades, saw him involved in various diplomatic and military endeavors, shaping the late medieval history of the Low Countries and southern Germany. Albert I passed away in The Hague on December 13, 1404, leaving a significant, if sometimes turbulent, legacy.
