“ In 1472 the elector married Clara Tott, or Dett, the daughter of an Augsburg citizen, and by her he had two sons, Frederick, who died during his father’s lifetime, and Louis (d. 1524) , who founded the line of the counts of Löwenstein.

Frederick was a cultured prince, and, in spite of his warlike career, a wise and intelligent ruler. ”
