Otto I of Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria - History of Bavaria, House of Wittelsbach, King Ludwig III of Bavaria

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Otto I (1117 11 July 1183), called the Redhead, was Duke of Bavaria from 1180 until his death. He was the first Bavarian ruler from the House of Wittelsbach, a dynasty which reigned until the abdication of King Ludwig III of Bavaria in the German Revolution of 1918. Duke Otto I was probably born at Kelheim, the son of Count Palatine Otto IV of Wittelsbach and Heilika, a granddaughter of the Hohenstaufen duke Frederick I of Swabia. He thereby was the a brother of Archbishop Conrad I of Mainz and Salzburg. Upon the death of his father in 1156, he succeeded him as Count palatine of the Bavarian duchy, then under the rule of Henry the Lion, a scion of the Welf dynasty. About 1169 Otto married Agnes, a daughter of Count Louis I of Loon.
