Friedrich V Von Der Pfalz (1596-1632)

Monarch. He was the son of Friedrich IV Kurfürst von der Pfalz and Louise Juliana van Oranje-Nassau. Elector of the Palatinate, he succeeded to the title of King Friedrich V of Bohemia in 1619. In 1613 he married Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of king James I and Anne of Denmark. Friedrich V was also known as "The Winter King" because he reigned for less than three winter months. When he died his internal organs were apparently buried at the Katharinenkirche in Oppenheim and his embalmed body was to be sent to Frankenthal. The body never arrived and his final resting place is unknown.
