Maria Sophia of Neuburg
Maria Sophia Elisabeth of Neuburg 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.
Maria Sophia was born at the Schloss Benrath outside Dsseldorf 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 familys status within Europe. In December 1676, Maria Sophias sister Princess Eleonore Magdalene was married to the Emperor Leopold I owing to the familys 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 .
