Biography
October 1, 1579 the wedding of Magdalena with Johann the Lame , the Duke and the Palatine of Zweibrucken took place [3] . Her older sister Anna married Johann's older brother .
In 1609, the brother of Magdalena and Anna Johann Wilhelm dies childless. Based on the privileges granted by Charles V as a wedding present to William and Mary, the heirs of daughters born of this marriage can apply for the duchy of Julich-Cleve-Berg . In addition to Johann the Lame, claims were also made by Johann III Sigismund , the son-in-law of the deceased elder sister Maria Eleanor , and Philip Ludwig , husband of the middle sister Anna. In addition, claims were made by the elector of Saxony on the basis of an agreement with the emperor . All European houses, including the Habsburgs and French houses, were directly or indirectly involved in the dispute over inheritance by the duchy. The confrontation resulted in a war for the cool heritage , which ended after the death of the French king Henry IV (1610) in 1614 by the Treaty of Xanthus , according to which the duchy was divided into two parts and transferred to the management of Brandenburg and Neuburg . Magdalena's husband died in 1604, and her eldest son, Johann II the Younger, was not taken into account during the Julich-Cleve-Berg section.
In 1614, Johann ordered the castle to be expanded by attaching the northern part of the castle to the castle church in Meisenheim, the second residence of the Wittelsbach dukes of Zweibrucken. This building passed into the management of Magdalena and became her residence as a widow [4] , where she died on August 30, 1633 [5] . Magdalena was buried in the family tomb in the Meisenheim church .
