Sophia of Hanover
Sophia of Hanover (born Sophia of the Palatinate; 14 October 1630 – 8 June 1714) was the Electress consort of Hanover from 1692 to 1698.
As a Protestant granddaughter of James I, she became heir presumptive to the crowns of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Ireland under the Act of Settlement 1701.
After the Acts of Union 1707, she became heir presumptive to the unified throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
She died less than two months before she would have become queen succeeding her first cousin once removed,
Queen Anne, and her claim to the throne passed on to her eldest son, George Louis, Elector of Hanover, who ascended as George I on 1 August 1714
(Old Style).
Born to Frederick V of the Palatinate, a member of the House of Wittelsbach, and Elizabeth Stuart, in 1630, Sophia grew up in the Dutch Republic, where her family had sought refuge after the sequestration of their Electorate during the Thirty Years' War.
Sophia's brother Charles Louis was restored to the Lower Palatinate as part of the Peace of Westphalia.
Sophia married Ernest Augustus of Brunswick-Lüneburg in 1658.
Despite his jealous temper and frequent absences, Sophia loved him, and bore him seven children who survived to adulthood.
Initially a landless cadet, Ernest Augustus succeeded in having the House of Hanover raised to electoral dignity in 1692.
Therefore, Sophia became Electress of Hanover, the title by which she is best remembered.
A patron of the arts, Sophia commissioned the palace and gardens of Herrenhausen and sponsored philosophers, such as Gottfried Leibniz and John Toland.

Agnieszka (courtier)
Agnieszka( died after 1572), was a Polish Court dwarf in service of Sophia Jagiellon, Duchess of Brunswick- Lüneburg.
She was the personal favorite and secretary of Sophia.
Agnieszka was likely in the service of Sophia in Poland prior to her marriage.
She did belong to the Polish retinue of 500 people accompanying Sophia from Poland to her new life in Germany upon her marriage to Henry V, Duke of Brunswick- Lüneburg in February 1556.
In contrast to the majority of the Polish courtiers, Agnieszka remained with Sophia in her new court in Germany in Wolfenbüttel Castle.
She had an influential position at court as the personal confidante and secretary of Sophia.
She conducted the correspondence between Sophia and her powerful relatives, such as her brother the king of Poland and her sister the queen of Sweden.

After 1572, she assisted Sophia in her work to defend her late brother's will.
Her year of death is not known, but she was noted to be alive in 1572.
Her position is mirrored with Dorothea Ostrelska, whose life in the court of Sophia's sister Catherine Jagellon is an almost exact replica to her.

Frederick V of the Palatinate
Frederick V (26 August 1596 – 29 November 1632) was the Elector Palatine of the Rhine in the Holy Roman Empire from 1610 to 1623, and reigned as King of Bohemia from 1619 to 1620.
He was forced to abdicate both roles, and the brevity of his reign in Bohemia earned him the derisive sobriquet "the Winter King"
(Czech: "Zimní král";
German: "Winterkönig").
Frederick was born at the  (a hunting lodge) near Amberg in the Upper Palatinate.
He was the son of Frederick IV and of Louise Juliana of Orange-Nassau, the daughter of William the Silent and Charlotte de Bourbon-Montpensier.
An intellectual, a mystic, and a Calvinist, he succeeded his father as Prince-Elector of the Rhenish Palatinate in 1610.
He was responsible for the construction of the famous "Hortus Palatinus" gardens in Heidelberg.
In 1618 the largely Protestant estates of Bohemia rebelled against their Catholic King Ferdinand, triggering the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War.
Frederick was asked to assume the crown of Bohemia.
He accepted the offer and was crowned on 4 November 1619, as Frederick I (the adjective means "of Oberpfalz" or "of the Upper Palatinate").
The estates chose Frederick since he was the leader of the Protestant Union, a military alliance founded by his father, and hoped for the support of Frederick's father-in-law, James VI of Scotland and I of England.
However, James opposed the takeover of Bohemia from the Habsburgs and Frederick's allies in the Protestant Union failed to support him militarily by signing the Treaty of Ulm (1620).
His brief reign as King of Bohemia ended with his defeat at the Battle of White Mountain on 8 November 1620 – a year and four days after his coronation.
After the battle, the Imperial forces invaded Frederick's Palatine lands and he had to flee to his uncle Prince Maurice, Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic in 1622.
An Imperial edict formally deprived him of the Palatinate in 1623.
He lived the rest of his life in exile with his wife and family, mostly at The Hague, and died in Mainz in 1632.
His eldest surviving son Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine, returned to power in 1648 with the end of the war.
Another son was Prince Rupert of the Rhine, one of the most colourful figures of his time.
His daughter Princess Sophia was eventually named heiress presumptive to the British throne, and is the founder of the Hanoverian line of kings.
