In 1289 the electoral rights of the Wittelsbachs were placed in the Palatinate and the House of Wittelsbach was partitioned into Palatinian and Bavarian lines in 1294, which lead to over a century of wrangling between the branches of the family for the electorship. The Golden Bull of 1356 placed the rights in the Palatinate. In 1777 the Electors Palatine inherited Bavaria, and the electoral dignity of the Palatinate came to an end.
