Welfen family - Welfenke (English spelling)

Japanese: ウェルフェン家 - ウェルフェンけ(英語表記)Welfen
Welfen family - Welfenke (English spelling)
A distinguished family among the German princes. Beginning with Welf I, King of Burgundy, father-in-law of Louis the Pious, Welf IV held the Duchy of Bavaria. Under Henry the Proud, he also held the Duchy of Saxony. Henry the Lion lost to the Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederick I (Redbeard), and lost the Duchy of Saxony. His son Otto IV was elected emperor, but performed poorly, and the territory was reduced, leading to a decisive split in 1634. The Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, which arose from the territory of Lower Saxony, gained the status of Elector of Hanover in 1692.
