Note 5 — Chapter XVII · During the War—The German Empire is Proclaimed
Ethel Harriet Hearn translation
The Emperor “Ludwig der Bayrer” enfeoffed in 1323 his son Mark Brandenburg. Brandenburg remained under the sway of the Wittelsbachs until 1373, when Otto V. ceded it to the Emperor Karl IV. Bismarck mentions in his “Gedanken und Erinnerungen” the particular favour shown to his ancestors by the Bavarian dynasty. ↑
