Meinhard III of Gorizia-Tyrol

Meinhard III of Gorizia-Tyrol

Meinhard III (February 9 1344 - January 13, 1363), was the son of Louis V of Bavaria with Countess Margarete Maultasch of Tyrol-Gorizia and as such also the last member of the Meinhardiner line. He was born in Landshut.

Biography

In 1359 he was married to Margaret of Austria, a daughter of his father's ally Albert II, Duke of Austria and on this occasion his parents were absolved from the excommunication.

After the death of his father Louis in 1361, he ascended to rule, in which he was strongly influenced by his Wittelsbach relatives.

Meinhard III died in Meran (Merano), Tyrol (now in Italy), in 1363. His early death induced his mother to give Tyrol to Duke Rudolf IV of Austria. Therefore Meinhard's uncle Stephen II of Bavaria invaded Tyrol but finally released the country in return for a huge financial compensation in 1369.
