(I will continue working on this tree, trying to find the link from Christian II to Maximilian I).


King Maximilian I of Bavaria is, through some women, descended from William V of Bavaria and his wife Renata. If I remember correctly a check I long ago made, it was through their daughter Magdalena, palatiness of Neuburg. ObRoy 11:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is through Magdalena. Charles III Philip's (above) father was Philip William of Neuburg, whose mother was Magdalena of bavaria, daughter of Renata, whose mother Christina was Chtistian II's daughter. Only a couple of new names to above table, and then the lineage is fully clear. ObRoy 12:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

That's better, now all the persons on the "mysterious" link are in Wikipedia! --Astor Piazzolla 16:09, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


They are actually "old Swedish kings" and "old Norwegian kings" when Josephine is in question, because her connection to denmark is not so important, whereas her (a queen of Sweden and Norway) to those of Sweden and Norway is a promnent issue. ObRoy 15:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
