Amalie of Brandenburg

Amalie of Brandenburg (born: 1 October 1461 on the Plassenburg; died: 3 September 1481 in Baden-Baden) was, by marriage, Countess Palatine and Duchess of Zweibrücken and Veldenz.

Amalie received as her Wittum: Veldenz Castle,[1] Bergzabern, Annweiler, the Herxheim court, the community of Falkenburg and Hasloch.

Amalia left her husband and returned to her father when Kaspar showed signs of "madness".

[2] Before her 20th birthday, Amalie got very ill and went to bathe in the spa Baden-Baden, where she died.

A fierce controversy erupted about her dower: her father-in-law, Count Palatine Louis I of Zweibrücken-Veldenz tried to recover it, but Kaspar refused to return it.
