Biography
Coming to power
He was the son of John, Count Palatine of Neumarkt (1383–1443) and Catherine of Pomerania (c.
1390–1426). Catherine was the daughter of Wartislaw VII, Duke of Pomerania in Pomerania-Stolp, and sister of the Scandinavian king, Erik of Pomerania. Count Palatine John was a son of King Rupert of Germany (1352–1410).
Christopher was probably born at Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz in Upper Palatinate, in Bavaria, Germany. In 1445, Christopher married Dorothea of Brandenburg (1430 – 25 November 1495) in Copenhagen.[2][3]
