His son, Christopher of Bavaria, who would later become the monarch of the Kalmar Union, inherited the title in 1443.[2] Palatinate-Neumarkt ceased to exist after the death of Christopher. the properties of the house were inherited by Palatinate-Mosbach, later becoming Palatinate-Mosbach-Neumarkt.[3]

In 1524, a new apanage named Palatinate-Neumarkt was created for Wolfgang of the Palatinate. When he died in 1558, it fell back to the Electoral Palatinate.
