The Bavaria we see today is a multi-tribal state, binding the Bavarians together with the Swabians and Franks. The Bavarians’ lands are some of the most beautiful in Europe, having been spared centuries of European conflict. The heart of Bavaria is centered on the four ancient capitals of the Bavarian state: Munich, Landshut, Ingolstadt, and Straubing. These divisions of Bavaria reflect the politics of a bygone age, the great Bavarian civil war of the 15th century, and the struggle for the Palatinate.
