by Title 5 of the Bavarian Royal Family Statute of 1819. In 1948 and 1949 Crown Prince Rupprecht, with the agreement of the other members of the house, amended the house laws to allow the succession of the sons of princes who had married into comital houses. In 1999 Duke Franz, with the agreement of the other members of the house, amended the house laws further to allow the succession of the sons of any princes who married with the permission of the head of the house. Franz has never married. The heir presumptive to the headship of the House of Wittelsbach is his brother Prince Max, Duke in Bavaria. Because Max has five daughters but no sons, he is followed in the line of succession by his and Franz's first cousin (and second cousin in the male line) Prince Luitpold. The current line of succession to the headship of the family is: Ludwig I of Bavaria (1786–1868) Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria (1821–1912) Ludwig III of Bavaria (1845–1921) Rupprecht, Crown Prince of Bavaria (1869–1955) Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria (1905–1996) Franz, The Duke of Bavaria (born 1933) (1) Prince Max of Bavaria, Duke in Bavaria (born 1937) Prince Franz of Bavaria (1875–1957) Prince Ludwig of Bavaria (1913–2008) (2) Prince Luitpold of Bavaria (born 1951) (3) Prince Ludwig of Bavaria (born 1982) (4) Prince Heinrich of Bavaria (born 1986) (5) Prince Karl of Bavaria (born 1987) Prince Rasso of Bavaria (1926–2011) (6) Prince Wolfgang of Bavaria (born 1960) (7) Prince Tassilo of Bavaria (born 1992) (8) Prince Richard of Bavaria (born 1993) (9) Prince Philipp of Bavaria (born 1996) (10) Prince Christoph of Bavaria (born 1962) (11) Prince Corbinian of Bavaria (born 1996) (12) Prince Stanislaus of Bavaria (born 1997) (13) Prince Marcello of Bavaria (born 1998) Prince Adalbert of Bavaria (1828–1875) Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria (1859–1949) Prince Adalbert of Bavaria (1886–1970) Prince Konstantin of Bavaria (1920–1969) (14) Prince Leopold of Bavaria (born 1943) - current heir to Otto I, King of Greece (Leopold's eldest son Prince Manuel of Bavaria was born out of wedlock and is not in the line of succession) (15) Prince Konstantin of Bavaria (born 1986) (16) Prince Adalbert of Bavaria (born 1944) (17) Prince Hubertus of Bavaria (born 1989) See also Rulers of Bavaria History of Bavaria Queen of Bavaria References 01 .
