Bernauer

Bernauer, Agnes, daughter of an Augsburg doctor, was in 1432 married to Duke Albrecht without the knowledge of his father, Duke Ernst of Bavaria. When the latter learnt of the alliance he sought to degrade his son. Failing to make Albrecht give way in his devotion to his wife, he had her tried and condemned for witchcraft. She was then drowned in the Danube in 1435.
