Count Palatine of the Zipper-Palatinate, Duke of Bavaria, and Eleblor of the Empire, was Born June the nth, 1662. and fucceeded his Father, Alay the 16th, 1679. His Eldeft Siller, Maria Anna ViEloria, being the Year after Married to the Dauphin of France, there were great Endeavours ufed by that Court to make an Advantage of this Match, by en¬ gaging the Houfe of Bavaria, and efpecially the then Minillry in the French Intereft, and more- efpecially, that in cafe the Bavarian Male-Line fhould fail, the Dutchy fhould devolve to the Son of the faid Pr.incefs by the Dauphin ; though with¬ out fuccels. This Prince gave early Proof of his Courage and Valour, by his good Services in the - great Defeat given the Turkifh Army at Vienna, in 1683. where, with the Duke of Lorain, he Com¬ manded the Left-Wing of the Imperial Army. After the Railing of that moil memorable Siege, the King of Poland, a main Inllrument of it, entred Vienna, between the Eleblors of Bavaria and Saxony, to ling Te Deum tor the Viflory ; not long after which, he was forced to leave the Army, by realon of his Illnefs; but happily Recovering again, and Joining the Duke of Lorain with 7000 Foor, near Barkan, they belieged Gran, which was loon reduced by their Victorious Arms. And the Imperial Army, in 1684. having formed the Siege of Buda, his Electo¬ ral Highnefs arrived before the Place, in September, with his Auxilliary Troops, with which, though he did excellent Service in carrying on the Siege, yet they were forced to quit it for that time. The Elefctor, in 1685. was honoured with His Imperial Majelly's near Alliance, in Marrying Anna Maria Jofepha, his only Daughter by his firll Emprefs Margaret Maria, Daughter to Philip IV. King of Spain ; and taking the Field the fame Year with the Imperial Army in Hungary, he Commanded the Right-Wing in the Battle of Gran. In 1686 he alfilted at the Siege of Buda, now formed a lecond time by the Germans, and having, with the Duke of Lorain, defeated the Turkifh Army that ap¬ proached to relieve it, gained immortal Honour, in the fhare which he and his invincible Troops had in the taking of that important Place by Storm. The great Battle of Mohatz. was fought in 1687. where Maximilian had an extraordinary fhare both of the Honour and Booty, the valt and rich Tent of the Grand Vifier becoming a Prey to his High¬ nefs. The Duke of Lorain falling lick about the beginning of the Campaign, in 1688. his Elebloral- Highnels was Conflituted Generaliffimo of the Im¬ perial Army, under whole Condubt they took the llrong City of Belgrade by Storm ; upon which the Turks made much Court to him for forwarding a Peace between the two Empires. A New War breaking out in Europe between France and moll of her Neighbours, and the Em¬ pire having been invaded by her Arms, the Bava¬ rian Troops did good Service in the recovering of Jllentz, in 1689. He had the Chief'Command of the Imperial Army on the Rhine in 1690. after the Deceale of the Duke of Lorain ; and all that His Highnefs, in Conjunblion with the Eleblor of Saxony, could do to engage the Dauphin in a Battle, availing nothing, that Campaign concluded without any memorable Action. This Prince was one of thole IlluftriousPerfonages of the Firll Rank that formed the famous Congrefs at the Hague, in the beginning of 1691. and the Duke ot Savoy having the Year before ranged himlelf on the Side of the Serene Confederates, the Elector, this Sum¬ mer, Marched into Italy at the Head of 8000 Men to his Succour; which gave Prince Eugene an Op¬ portunity to recover Carmagnola out of the French hands: His Highnefs, by the Inrerell of William III. King of England, was made Governor of the Spanijh Netherlands, in 1692. where though he quickly made good Regulations in the Troops, yet the French were lo potent as to Mailer the llrong Fortrels of Namur. Fie was prelent, the fame Year, at the unfuccefsful Battle of Steenkirf. And in 1693 performed Wonders in the great Battle of Landen, though the Confederates loll the Day : And the taking of Charleroy by the French, was the Confequence ot their Dear-bought Victory. His Interell with the King ot England, States of Hol¬ land, and efpecially with His Imperial Majeliy and the Empire, obtained the Electorate of Cologne, and the Principality of Liege for his Brother, Prince Cle¬ ment of Bavaria, now in 1694. And he failed but a little of breaking into French Flanders before the End of the Campaign : But in that of 1695 he acquired great Glory, tor his.A£livity and Management in the Siege ot Namur, where, in the Grand Attack of all, upon the Cohorn Fort and the Caflle, he expofed himfelf to a degree not to be imagined, going from Place to Place to obferve what palTed, and to give the Neceflary Orders, feveral Perlons being kill’d very near him ; nay, he gave feveral handfuls of Gold to the EngliJhSoldiets, as well as his own, faying many things of the Bravery both of the Officers and Private Men : After which, he Parly'd with Guifcard, by the Defireof that Count, upon the Breach, and refuling the furrender of the Cohorn, without the Whole, the Garrilon was forced to lubmit to the prevailing Arms of the Confede¬ rates : And the Redublion of this Place, was re¬ puted the moll Glorious Ablion performed during the whole Courfe of the War. About this time Died his Princefs the Eleblrefs, at her Father's Court at Vienna, after fhe had a little before bore him a Son, Named Ferdinand Jofieph. In 1696 he Marry’d Lovifia, only Daughter to John Sobieski, King of Poland. And the Year 1697 producing a Genera! Peace in Europe, His EleCloral- Highnefs Hill continued in his Government of the Spanijh Netherlands, and in great Elteem with the late Confederates. And the King of England, and the States-General, when they Entred with the French into the Treaty ot' Partition of the Spanijh Monarchy, in 1698. not only Allowed to his Son, the Electoral Prince, the Crown of Spain, and moll of its Dominions within, and All out of Europe, and himfelt to be Tutor and Adminillrator till he came of Age ; but by a Secret Article, it was Agreed, That in cale his Son fhould Die without Blue, the Eleblor himfelf was to fucceed in ail thofe Countries affigned him for his Share, and his Heirs after him.
