The 'Treaty of Munich' was signed on
October 8,
1619 in
Munich between
Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II and
Duke Maximilian of Bavaria. A
Spanish ambassador named Oñate persuaded Ferdinand to grant Maximilian any part of the
Palatine to occupy, as well as the electoral title of
Frederick V. Moreover, Oñate exceeded his duties by guaranteeing Ferdinand Spanish support in dealing with the
Bohemian rebels. Based on the terms of the treaty, Maximilian, leader of the
Catholic League, made his Bavarian forces available to Emperor Ferdinand. In return, Maximilian was granted territories in the Palatine in order to maintain his forces.
