Maria Sophia of Neuburg : ウィキペディア英語版 | Maria Sophia of Neuburg
Maria Sophia Elisabeth of Neuburg (6 August 1666 – 4 August 1699) was queen of Portugal as the wife of King Peter II from 1687 until her death in 1699. A popular queen, she was noted for her extraordinary generosity and for being the mother of the famously extravagant John V of Portugal. ==Background== Maria Sophia was born at the Schloss Benrath outside Düsseldorf modern day Germany. Her father Philip William was the reigning Count Palatine of Neuburg. In 1685 he became the Elector Palatine following the death of his cousin Elector Charles II, an inheritance which subsequently increased the family's status within Europe. In December 1676, Maria Sophia's sister Princess Eleonore Magdalene was married to the Emperor Leopold I owing to the family's reputation as producing fertile women and the lack of heirs in Austria. The new Empress Eleonore Magdalene fulfilled her function and quickly mothered two future Holy Roman Emperors (Joseph I and Charles VI). A similar succession crisis was occurring in Portugal. The Isabel Luísa, Princess of Beira, heiress to the throne and only daughter of King Peter II was childless and had been refused by most European sovereigns due to her sickly nature and strict Portuguese succession rights. As a result, with the encouragement of Empress Eleonore Magdalene, the Portuguese ambassador Manuel da Silva Teles was sent to Heidelberg to ask for the hand of Maria Sophia. The embassy left Lisbon on 8 December 1686 and the marriage contract was signed on 22 May 1687 and a dowry of 100,000 florins was agreed.
