Shouldn't the title be "Charles IV Theodore, Elector of Bavaria", seeing as how the translation of Karl is Charles, and IV was his regnal number... -Alex 12.220.157.93 05:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC).

No, because it wasn't. As Elector Palatinate he was Charles IV Theodore, but as Elector of Bavaria he was just Charles Theodore, although he is sometimes called Charles II Theodore (Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor being Charles I Albert). Känsterle 13:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure he was really loved in the Palatinate? my ancestors come from the palatinate and the reason they emigrated was because it was decreed that everyone must follow the ruler's religion, my ancestors being protestants, they left for Philadelphia (later coming to Canada). My ancestors emigrated in 1753, so that is certainly during his reign. I do not think he would be that loved if he forced people to convert, and mass emigration is not usually a sign of liking the ruler.

[edit] Whoops (edit summary)

Should have changed that- my edit summary was misleading. Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
