The Vitelsbach family has always shown great interest in expanding their territory in Nande and Rhine. In addition to Baladin's acquisition in the13rd century, and the expansion of family territory through military and inheritance, they also used their sons who had no chance of inheritance to be sent to the church to become priests, and used their influence to make them elected as archbishop of Cologne (Archbishop of Cologne was also one of the seven candidates), so the archbishop of Cologne was inherited by the Vitelsbach family in disguise for centuries. The Bavarian branch lost its offspring. After the Bavarian war of succession to the throne, the Vertel Spoach family reunited under the branch of Baladin (converted to Catholicism). 1805, Bavaria was promoted to king of Bavaria (after the reconstruction of the kingdom, the most famous king was King Ludwig II who built Neuschwanstein Castle). Later, after the Franco-Prussian War, the Kingdom joined the German Empire established by Bismarck and became one of the constituent countries of the German Empire (although the Bavarian Kingdom became a part of the German Empire, it still maintained its own military, postal, financial and parliamentary affairs, and even later was deposed with the defeat of the German Empire in World War I, but at the same time it retained all titles and property.
Withals Bach family is not only an important German aristocratic family, but also established its own dynasty rule in Northern Europe and Eastern Europe. In northern Europe, 1440, Christophe, a branch of Baladin, was elected king of Denmark, Sweden and Norway (Denmark, Sweden and Norway were in the state of Kalmar Union at that time); During the period of 1654- 1720, the branch of Baladin-Zweibrucken-Kripke became the ruling dynasty of Sweden (Karl X, Karl XI and Karl XII). In Eastern Europe, Otto III, Duke of Bavaria, was elected as King Bella V of Hungary (at that time, the Hungarian nobles elected three kings at the same time), but he was finally defeated by other competitors. /kloc-in the 9th century, after Greece's independence, Otto, a branch of Baladin-Zweibrucken-Birkenfeld, was elected as the king of Otto I of Greece by the great powers. Although Otto was once welcomed by the Greek people, he was eventually exiled because of diplomatic problems and the heir's unwillingness to convert to the Orthodox Church.
The Vitelsbach family has a long history and a distinguished family background, and can be called the oldest and most real aristocrat in Europe. There are many collections of antique jewelry and paintings. In addition to the most famous Neuschwanstein Castle, there are countless castles and palaces scattered all over Europe. Compared with other royal families, the Vitelsbach family today is more low-key. Apart from castles and palaces open to the public, porcelain from Ningfenbao, beer from Katenberg, witters Bach Golf Course and some limited-edition royal custom watches, the property of this ancient and mysterious family is unknown. The famous blue diamond "Wittelsbach" originally belonged to the queen of the family, but it flowed out for historical reasons. However, it seems that at the time of the diamond auction, the Witelsbach family did not take any action to recover their property. It can be seen that a diamond is not worth their propaganda, and people are more interested in exploring the huge empire under this ancient coat.
