In the history of the Holy Roman Empire, Louis VI, Elector Palatine (Simmern, 4 July 1539 – 22 October 1583, Heidelberg) was an Elector from the Palatinate-Simmern branch of the house of Wittelsbach. He was the first-born son of Frederick III, Elector Palatine and Marie of Brandenburg-Kulmbach. Unlike his father, he gave preference to Lutheranism over Calvinism, purging Calvinists from positions at the University of Heidelberg.
Family and children
Louis VI was married twice. First, on July 8, 1560, he married Elisabeth of Hesse (13 February 1539 – 14 March 1582). They had the following children:
- Anna Marie (b. Heidelberg, 24 July 1561 - d. Eskilstuna, 29 July 1589), married Charles IX of Sweden.
- Elisabeth (b. Heidelberg, 15 June 1562 - d. Heidelberg, 2 November 1562).
- Dorothea Elisabeth (b. Jagdschloß Deinschwang, 12 January 1565 - d. Jagdschloß Deinschwang, 7 March 1565).
- Dorothea (b. Amberg, 4 August 1566 - d. Amberg, 10 March 1568).
- Frederick Philip (b. Amberg, 19 October 1567 - d. Amberg, 14 November 1568).
- Johann Friedrich (b. Amberg, 17 February 1569 - d. Amberg, 20 March 1569).
- Ludwig (b. Amberg, 30 December 1570 - d. Amberg, 7 May 1571).
- Katharina (b. Amberg, April 1572 - d. Amberg, 16 October 1586).
- Christine (b. Schloß Hirschwald, 6 January 1573 - d. Zweibrücken, 21 July 1619).
- Frederick IV, Elector Palatine (b. Amberg, 5 March 1574 - d. Heidelberg, 9 September 1610).
- Philip (b. Amberg, 4 May 1575 - d. Amberg, 9 August 1575).
- Elisabeth (b. Amberg, 24 November 1576 - d. Heidelberg, 10 April 1577).
Second, he married on 12 July 1583 Countess Anne of Ostfriesland (26 June 1562 – 21 April 1621), but they had no children.
