Sabina, Duchess of Bavaria (Dutch: Sabina van Palts-Simmern; 1528–1578) was the daughter of John II, Count Palatine of Simmern and Beatrix of Baden.[1]
Marriage

When her husband was arrested and accused of treason in 1567, she wrote a letter to King Philip II, the King of Spain, to plead for his release. Her letter did not change her husband's fate and he was decapitated in the following year.

Widowhood
