Theresa Kunegunda ( _pl. Teresa Kunegunda Sobieska) (4 March 1676–10 March 1730) was a daughter of the Polish King John III Sobieski and Marie Casimire Louise de la Grange d'Arquien.

Biography

Theresa Kunegunda Sobieska married Maximilian II Emanuel, elector of Bavaria on 2 January 1695. She was mother of ten children by her husband, including Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor and Clemens August of Bavaria, Archbishop-Elector of Cologne.

In 1704–05, following the evacuation of the Bavarian court to the Spanish Netherlands after the defeat at the Battle of Blenheim, she apparently was in charge of the government in Electoral Palatinate as Regent Princess Palatine.

She rests in Theatine Church, Munich.
