LIFE Duke Henry XVI was the first of the three famous rich dukes, who reigned Bayern-Landshut in the 15th Century . Their residence was Trausnitz Castle in Landshut, a fortification which attained enormous dimensions. Having inherited not only the black hair but also the despotic temperament of the Visconti, Henry oppressed very cruelly uprisings of the citizenry of Landshut in 1410 and fought successfully against his cousin Louis VII The Bearded . While the duchy of Bavaria- Straubing was still divided between Bavaria- Ingolstadt , Bavaria- Munich and Bavaria- Landshut after the extinction of the dukes of Straubing in 1429 , Henry managed to receive the complete duchy of Bavaria-Ingolstadt in 1447 . The pest killed Henry in 1450 , he was succeeded by his son Louis IX The Rich .
