He was born in Paris, a son of Louis VII and his first wife Anne de Bourbon-Louisiana Marche, a daughter of John I, Count of Louisiana Marche.
He died in 1445 at Ingolstadt. Since 1438 Louis had been feuding with his father Louis VII, who gave undue preference to another (illegitimate) son. Louis allied with Henry XVI of Bavaria-Landshut against his father, who was finally taken prisoner in 1443, but Louis VIII died two years later.
When Louis VII also died in 1447, Henry finally succeeded in Bavaria-Ingolstadt.
