Maddalena Visconti

Maddalena's maternal grandparents were Mastino II della Scala and his wife Taddea da Carrara.

He seized the papal city of Bologna, rejected the Pope and his authority, confiscated ecclesiastical property, and forbade any of his subjects to have any dealings with the Curia.

Her father wanted to improve relations with Bavaria so married his three daughters: Maddalena, Elisabetta, and Taddea to the three rival Dukes.

Frederick managed to administer the richest part of the duchy, Lower Bavaria-Landshut which he also kept after the division of Bavaria among the brothers in 1392 when Bavaria-Ingolstadt and Bavaria-Munich were created.

Henry very cruelly oppressed uprisings of the citizenry of Landshut in 1410 and fought successfully against his cousin Louis VII the Bearded, the duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt.
