Sophia of the Palatinate (commonly referred to as Sophia of Hanover; 14 October 1630 –ثمانية June 1714) was the Electress of Hanover from 1692 to 1698. 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 Act of Union, 1707 unified the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, she became heir presumptive to the throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Sophia, a granddaughter of James VI and I, died less than two months before she would have become queen; 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, Elector Palatine, 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 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.
Early life
A daughter of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and Elizabeth Stuart, also known as the "Winter King and Queen of Bohemia" for their short rule in that country, Sophia was born in The Wassenaer Hof, The Hague, Dutch Republic, where her parents had fled into exile after the Battle of White Mountain. Through her mother, she was the granddaughter of James VI and I, king of Scotland and England. At birth, Sophia was granted an annuity of 40 thalers by the Estates of Friesland. Sophia was courted by her first cousin, Charles II of England, but she rebuffed his advances as she thought he was using her in order to get money from her mother's supporter, Lord William Craven.
Marriage

وفاتها وذكراها
وقد أسهمت إمارة هانوفر الناخبة في التاريخ هذه الحقبة بإيوائها ليبنتنر وضمها إنجلترا. وفي 1685، تزوجت صوفيا أميرة بالاتين المخلوعة، وابنة اليزابيث ستيوارت (ملكه بوهيميا)، من ارنست أوغسطس، الذي أصبح ناخب هانوفر. وقد أربك فهمها الواسع زوجها، فقد كانت تتحدث خمس لغات بطلاقة تكاد تكون تامة، وتعهد من التاريخ الإنجليزي أكثر مما يعهده السفراء الإنجليز في بلاطها. وظلت حيناً تحتفظ في هانوفر بصالون يؤمه الفهماء والفلاسفة. ولكنها كانت تتحرق شوقاً للحصول على عرش إنجلترا لولدها جورج: كان دمها يختلج بالملوكية، لأنها لم تنس قط أنها حفيدة جيمس الأول. وفي 1701 قرر البرلمان الإنجليزي كما رأينا حق وراثة العرش لصوفيا و"ورثتها من دمها شريطة حتىقد يكونوا من البروتستانت". وتأملت في سرور مشهد ولدها حين يصبح جورج الأول، وفي كدر مشهد زوجته صوفيا دوروتياً ملكة له، وتطلعت في هدوء إلى فسخ زقابلما. واشتبه جورج في حتى تكون زوجته خانته مع الكونت فيليب فون كونجزمارك، فقتل بأمره، وطلق صوفيا دوروتيا، وسجنها من 1694 إلى حتى ماتت في 1726. وفي غضون هذا ماتت الناخبة الأرملة في يونيو1714 وقد بلغت الرابعة والثمانين، قبل حتى يهبط تاج إنجلترا على رأس ولدها بشهرين فقط. وكذلك يتصرف إله الحظ العظيم، من عرشه الكلي الوجود، في المصائر والدول والرجال.
