Early life and family


Christian IV was born in Bischweiler on 6 September 1722, the son of Christian III, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken and Caroline of Nassau-Saarbrücken.



Marriage and issue


In 1751 he married, morganatically, Maria Johanna Camasse (1734–1807, created Countess Forbach in 1757). They had six children, who were unable to succeed to their father's Duchy due to the morganatic nature of their parents' marriage at first, but in 1792 were allowed to carry the name Freiherr von Zweibrücken:[1]




  • Christian, Count of Forbach, Marquis of Deux-Ponts (1752–1817), Royal Bavarian General der Infanterie


  • Philippe Guillaume (later renamed to Wilhelm), Count of Forbach, Viscount of Deux-Ponts (1754–1807)

  • Maria Anna Caroline von Zweibrücken (1756–1806)

  • Karl Ludwig, Baron of Zweybrücken (1759–63)

  • Elisabeth Auguste Friederike von Zweibrücken (1766–1836)

  • Julius August Maximilian, Baron of Zweybrücken (1771–73)[2]


His grandson Christian Freiherr von Zweibrücken (1782–1859, son of Philipp Guillaume) was a Royal Bavarian General der Kavallerie and Generalkapitän of the Hartschiere.[1]
