What is meant by the title "Duke IN Bavaria", please? Is this duke not a duke elsewhere?
When Bavaria became a kingdom and was no longer a duchy and electorate, the royal line became kings and princes of Bavaria; the remaining other line of the House of Wittelsbach became dukes in Bavaria to differentiate themselves. ALL of them were duke of Bavaria, count palatine by the Rhine as well. The dukes in Bavaria followed the princes of Bavaria in the Bavarian royal succession and all were Royal Highnesses.
