List of diplomats of the United Kingdom to Bavaria
(Redirected from List of diplomats from the United Kingdom to Bavaria)
Below is an incomplete list of diplomats from the United Kingdom to Bavaria, specifically Heads of Missions sent after the creation of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1805, when diplomatic relations began in 1814 after the Napoleonic Wars.[1] Before the Napoleonic War, Great Britain maintained a diplomatic mission to the Elector of Bavaria and (from 1777) to the Elector of the Palatinate following his succession to the Duchy of Bavaria. This was often commonly combined with a mission to the Imperial Diet in Regensburg (Ratisbon).
