Rare tract in Latin published during the Thirty Years' War. Frederick I, King of Bohemia, was the Elector Palatine (as Frederick V) until 1623, when an Imperial edict removed him from the position and replaced him with Maximilian I of Bavaria. Frederick died in 1632, after which his widow sought to have their eldest surviving son, Charles Louis, installed as Elector Palatine. This tract attempts to refute the claims of Charles Louis to the Electoral Palatinate; however, he would ascend to the position in 1648 according to the terms of the Treaty of Westphalia.
