Before the Bajuvarii tribe existed, the Celtic tribe of the Boii (Boiern->Baiern->Bayern) lived there. Later it was settled by the Germanic Goths, Gepids and Lombards, among others. One of the reasons why Bavaria is Celtic and Germanic 🙂 Good video! Greetings from Bavaria

The Boii never lived in Bavaria, they lived in Bohemia. Then the Germanic Markomanni, Quaden and other replaced the Boii and only kept their name. The Celtic tribes who lived where now Bavaria is were the Raetians and they had already lost their Celtic identity due to romanization when the Germanic people arrived. When the province of Raetia got lost, the Roman emperor ordered to evacuate the people there, so a good amount has left that area, even tho some remained ofc. So the Bavarians are ultimately ofc Germanic with a smaller romanized celtic element.

However after him unsuccessfully trying to sell it off people hated him. They hated him so much that they started to call the square Stachus (because an owner of a restaurant at that square was called Eustachius). Now Stachus is the 2nd official name of the square. And as a Bavarian, I too am deeply angered when anyone calls the square Karlsplatz.

Common misconception: Free state (Freistaat) is not a special title, it's basically just a German word for "republic", a state that is free of monarchy (freier Staat). They came up with this German term when republics were kind of new after the French Revolution. Some states used Freistaat back in the day while others used Republik (with a K). Bavaria was not the only Freistaat and some are still called Freistaat.

Pretty good (besides the pronunciation). Little additional fact: The white and blue lozenges were originally worn by the counts of Bogen in Lower Bavaria. They (like anther noble family, the counts of Andechs) used to own much more land than the House of Wittelsbach. Actually, Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossa wanted the origianlly not very mighty Wittelsbacher to become Dukes as he had so much trouble with their predecessor Heinrich der Löwe from the House of Welf. But a few decades later, Ludwig der Kelheimer from the House of Wittelsbach married the widow of the count of Bogen and so this coat of arms was later inherited by his family as the sons of the count of Bogen died without having a heir. Around the same time, the once very rich counts of Andechs also died out and so the Wittelsbacher managed to become more and more powerful.

There was a very close connection between the Agilolfing dynasty that ruled Bavaria as suzerains of the Merovingian Franks,with the Germanic people called the Lombards who occupied most of northern Italy starting in the 500's A.D.Actually a branch of the Agilolfings ruled as kings of the Lombards(or Longobards) in Italy.The capital of the Lombard kingdom was Pavia near Milan and one of the most famous rulers was queen Theodolinda whose tomb is located in a church in Monza,Italy also near Milan.During this period many Bavarians migrated to the Lombard territories in Italy so that many of the people of the Veneto region in northeast Italy(the area around Venice) would have Bavarian ancestry.Many of the Bavarian-Lombard kings had names that would sound familiar to modern Italians -e.g.Garibald was one of these kings -and that is almost precisely the name of the liberator of modern Italy Giuseppe Garibaldi!The great Anglo-German composer George Frederick Handel wrote an opera called "Rodelinda" whose main heroine of the title was queen of the Lomabards.

Some clarification on East-Francia and the Holy Roman Empire. One didn't replace the other. East Francia (later called the kingdom of Germany) kept being a nominal kingdom for the entirety of the HRE's existence. Italy was also a kingdom within the HRE but Bavaria was firmly placed within the German kingdom despite at times reaching as far South as the Adriatic Sea. Also, you could say that Bavaria had been a (sub)kingdom during Carolingian times as well. Some kings, most notably Louis the German were titles "king of the Bavarians". That title wasn't kept up though.

Tyrol was then briefly passed to Bavaria by Napoleon and then quickly passed back to Austria after the whole Napoleonic experiment went to shit :)

Just one thing , Napoleon was not in charge of "Rhine Army" that enter in Bavaria, it was Moreau and Jourdan. Napoleon commanded Army of Italy. And sad you didnt speak about Spanish Sucession war where Bavaria was involved a lot. But cool video.

@Swapn Lok no india was the richest nation right from 1 A.D. to 1700 A.D. China did became the biggest economy when the British east india company took control of India, and destroyed several industries like the textile industry, but it was for a very short period of time. I am not saying this thing, ' The Economist ' is saying this.

@Swapn Lok The Mauryan Empire got close... in 250 BC

Nice video. Possibly add a bit about the Danube being the northern frontier of the Roman Empire - parts of modern Bavaria were Roman and parts of modern Bavaria were Germanic.

Please could you make a video about the history of the region of Lombardy?

YEEEEEEE NICE VIDEO

Bavaria is home to the most beautiful castles in Europe... Neuschwanstein :) The people are also quite friendly sociable. Highly recommended place to visit :)

There is a mistake in 9:35, because Saxony is also called a "free state" (Freistaat)

@Gopi Gajwelly So was Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh (he actually got 96% of the vote in one of the first plebiscites Greeks had to replace Otto). His mother, Queen Victoria, didn't want him to go down there though, and so he didn't. Eventually George I was chosen.

i'm kind of astonished that you didn't mention the palatinate once, considering that they were the other big wittelsbach power in the hre and that bavaria fell under a personal union in 1777. all bavarian kings were palatinate.

Whats happens, if u make a mixture of 80% Bavaria, 10% Slavs and 10% Hungarian? Austria.

PLEASE MAKE YOUR BRILLIANT VIDEOS LONGER ! GIVE ALL THE DETAILS YOU HAVE , AND LET THE STORY LEAD WHERE IT WILL ! YOU PRESENT THE INFORMATION VERY WELL , AND THE MATERIAL IS INCREDIBLY INTERESTING ! - MORE ON GERMANY , ITALY AND THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE WOULD BE EXTREMELY NICE OF YOU ! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THESE VIDEOS !

Wonderful video. Yeah, the Bavarians between 8th century to 10th century spoke Old Bavarian. Before that, they spoke Proto-West-Germanic.
