Christian IV, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld (Bischweiler, 6 September 1722 – Herschweiler-Pettersheim, 5 November 1775) was Duke of Zweibrücken from 1735 to 1775.

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]

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]
