Electoral Palatinate

The Rhenish Palatinate of the Wittelsbachs (counts palatine of the Rhine from 1214), one of the seven electorates from the Golden Bull of 1356. The Treaty of Pavia (1329) added the Upper Palatinate around Amberg, lost to Bavaria in 1623–1628 after Frederick V's defeat in Bohemia.

France took the left bank in 1797.
