TREATY OF MUNICH (1619)

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.[1]
