Beatrix of Lower Bavaria
Beatrix of Lower Bavaria (1302–1360) was a Wittelsbach princess, the daughter of Duke Stephen I of Lower Bavaria and Jutta of Schweidnitz. In 1322 she married Count Henry III of Gorizia and bore him John Henry IV. When Henry died in 1323, the infant succeeded to the county and Beatrix served as co-regent of the Gorizia lands.
After Patriarch Pagano of Aquileia died in 1332, she took over its secular government. In 1333 the Friulian parliament named her captain general of Friuli.
