Summary

Proceedings of the Landtag (state assembly) of the Duchy of Bavaria, called by Wilhelm V, Duke of Bavaria, and held in Munich from 27 November 1583 to 19 January 1584 (f. 131v). Accompanying the proceedings are copies of articles of complaint (Gravaminna oder Beschwerung Articl) that were presented to Wilhelm by the various estates within his domain. The proceedings begin with a copy of Wilhelm's letter calling for the Landtag, dated 31 October 1583 (f. 2v). Copies of communications submitted to the Landtag from Wilhelm's younger brothers, Ferdinand of Bavaria (f. 57v-64r) and Ernest of Bavaria, Archbishop and Elector of Cologne (f. 94v-98v) are included. The articles of complaint are divided into 3 sections: the articles from the prelates and monasteries (Stifte); those from the knightage and nobility; and those from the cities and market towns. Each of these 3 sections has its own title page, reading as follows: 1. Dess Stannds der Preläten und Stift Beschwerungs Schrift (f. 135); 2. Dess Stannds der Ritterschaft und Adls Beschwer Articl wie dieselben dem durchleuchtigen hochgebornen Fürsten und Herrn Wilhelmen Pfaltzgrafen bij Rein, Hertzog in Obern und Nidern Bairn & in dem zu Münch[en] gehaltnem Lanndtag, underthenig fürgebracht und umb gh. Wenndtung und Abstellung gebeten worden ist, an[n]o 1583 (f. 167); and 3. Dess Stands der Stett und Märkt Fürstenthumbs Bairn rc Beschwerunge[n] (f. 265). Finding tabs (f. 133, 166, and 264) mark the end of the proceedings and of the first and second sections of the articles of complaint.
