Was a state that was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The electorate had its origins under the rulership of the Counts Palatine of Lotharingia from 915, it was then restructured under the Counts Palatine of the Rhine in 1085. It divided and reunited several times, but only the division of Upper Palatinate is considered effective in the model, as derived from the maps in G. Droysen, “Historischer Handatlas” (1886).
