She also served as Regent of the Palatinate in 1704-1705. Theresa Kunegunda Sobieska married Maximilian II Emanuel, elector of Bavaria, on 2 January 1695. In 1704-1705, 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 the Electorate of the Palatinate as Regent Princess Palatine.
However, when she left to see her mother, the army would not allow her to return.
Therefore, Theresa spent ten years in exile, only returning in 1715. She rests in the Theatine Church in Munich.
