The history of Bavaria stretches from its earliest settlement and its formation as a stem duchy in the 6th century through its inclusion in the Holy Roman Empire to its status as an independent kingdom and finally as a large Bundesland (state) of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Initially a powerful duchy in the Holy Roman empire, Bavaria became a moderately powerful kingdom under the reforms of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in 1805, and played its part in Central European politics until the conclusion of the First World War saw the kingdom abolished and a federal Germany formed, of which it was a constituent part.
The Duchy of Bavaria passed, in 1156, to Henry the Lion, who held it until his downfall in 1180. Bavaria and Saxony, with great inheritances by marriages, made the Welfs the most potent rivals of the Hohenstaufen kings and emperors. The German king and Holy Roman emperor Otto IV was a son of Henry the Lion.

A new duchy was created from this area during the decline of the Carolingian Empire in the late ninth century.
In the hundred years between 1156 (independence of the Duchy of Austria) and 1255 (1st land division), a crucial radical change took place in the history of the Bavarian duchy: the "younger feudal duchy" that resulted from the disintegration of the Carolingian Empire was transformed into a territorial duchy that had been reduced in size by losse...
