Kaiser Rupert--great-grandson of that Kur-Pfalz who was Kaiser Ludwig's elder brother--is the culminating point of the Electors Palatine; the Highest that Heidelberg produced.

Ancestor of those famed Protestant "Palatines;" of all the Palatines or PFLAZES that reign in these late centuries.

Ancestor of the present Bavarian Majesty; Kaiser Ludwig's race having died out.
