Footnotes
Ludwig I became Grand Duke on December 8, 1818 and remained so until his death. He was the uncle of his predecessor Karl and, when he died in 1830, the Zähringen line of the Baden house came to an end. The succession then went to the children of the morganatic second marriage of Grand Duke Karl Friedrich and Luise Karoline Geyer von Geyersberg and he was succeeded by Leopold.
