Elisabeth Auguste Sofie of the Palatinate
Elisabeth Auguste Sofie von der Pfalz (* March 17, 1693 - January 30, 1728 ) was a daughter of the Palatinate Elector Karl Philipp from the Palatinate-Neuburg line and his first wife Luise Charlotte Radziwill .
Life
Elisabeth Auguste was the elector's only legitimate child to reach adulthood. For dynastic reasons, she was married to Joseph Karl von Pfalz-Sulzbach by her father in 1717 , the designated successor to Karl Philip. Thus the two Wittelsbach lines Pfalz-Neuburg and Pfalz-Sulzbach were merged.
The eldest son from this connection would have become Elector Palatinate, but all of the couple's sons died in childhood. Elisabeth died in another stillbirth in 1728. Nevertheless, her line lived on through her two daughters Elisabeth Auguste and Maria Franziska Dorothea . Elisabeth Auguste was married to Karl Theodor and Maria Franziska became the founder of the Bavarian royal line up to 1918 and their descendants up to the present at the side of her husband Friedrich Michael von Pfalz-Birkenfeld .
Princess Elisabeth Auguste was buried in the Carmelite Church in Heidelberg , after the abolition of the monastery, her coffin was transferred to St. Michael's Church in Munich in 1805 .
