Reiches Großraum Bayern (Principia Moderni II Map Game)

The Bavarian-Munchen Principality
The Bavarian-Munchen Principality is a member state of the Holy Roman Empire along with following states of Brandenburg and Austria. It was founded from civil disarray in 1450 A.D when King Andreas Kribt the First united all the Houses under one rule in hopes of forming a long lasting united Bavaria. Bavaria was also one of the instrumental aids in Uniting the Holy Roman Empire along with its vassal, Wurttemberg. Bavaria supported Austria in the War of Imperial Succession and helped turn the tide in the favor of the Empire.
