1256 CE

Louis, in Donauwörth in 1256, orders the execution of his wife Marie of Brabant—a daughter of Henry II, Duke of Brabant and Marie of Hohenstaufen—due to mistaken suspicion of adultery, although any actual guilt on her part could never be validated.

As expiation, Louis founds a Cistercian friary, Fürstenfeld Abbey (Fürstenfeldbruck), near Munich.

Louis supports Richard of Cornwall during the German interregnum that follows King William's death in 1256.
