About Adolf, Duke of Bavaria
Lived 1434 – 1441 (aged 7). Adolf, Duke of Bavaria was a sovereign.
Adolf (7 January 1434, Munich - 24 October 1441, Munich) was a German nobleman. He was a Duke of Bavaria-Munich in the House of Wittelsbach.
He was the eldest son of William III, Duke of Bavaria and Margaret of Cleves. His younger brother William of Bavaria-Munich died in infancy. Since William III's brother Ernest and Ernest's son Albert III were available as ruling dukes, Adolf's role was very limited. Having been made a duke at the age of one, he died aged only seven and thus had little effect on the duchy's fortunes.
