Their story
Albrecht Sigismund von Bayern, born in Munich on August 5, 1623, was a prominent member of the House of Wittelsbach. As a duke of Bavaria, he held a significant position within the complex political landscape of his era. His life was dedicated to ecclesiastical service, serving as Prince-Bishop of Freising from 1652 and Prince-Bishop of Regensburg from 1668. He navigated the responsibilities of these powerful spiritual and temporal offices.
