Sibylle of Bavaria was a member of the House of Wittelsbach was a princess of Bavaria-Munich and by marriage Electress Palatine.
Background
Sibylle was the daughter of Duke Albert IV of Bavaria-Munich (1447–1508) from his marriage to Kunigunde of Austria (1465–1520), daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III.
Career
The couple had no children. Louis had earlier been engaged to Sibylle"s elder sister Sidonie, but Sidonie had died before she could marry, barely 17 years old. The marriage was the starting point of the relaxation of the relations between Bavaria and the Palatinate, which were severely impacted by the Landshut War of Succession.
Relationships between the Palatinate and Emperor Maximilian I, who was Sibylle"s uncle, also improved and Louis came closer politically to the Contra League.
Sibylle died in 1519 and was buried in the Church of the Holy Spirit in Heidelberg. Instead, Ernest was promised a high ecclesiastic office.
