Albert VI, Duke of Bavaria

Albert was 1651–1654 the regent for his young nephew Elector Ferdinand Maria. Through his wife Mechthilde, Albrecht came into possession of the Landgraviate of Leuchtenberg, which he exchanged in 1650 for the Reichsgrafschaft (county) Haag. After the death of his son Maximilian Heinrich, Haag reverted to Bavaria. Albert's successor in Leuchtenberg was Maximilian Philipp Hieronymus of Bavaria, the second son of Elector Maximilian I. After Maximilian's death, Leuchtenberg was also united with Bavaria. Albrecht died on July 5, 1666, in Munich and was buried in the pilgrimage church in Altötting. == Issue ==
