Joseph Karl Emanuel August, Pfalzgraf von Sulzbach

Joseph Karl Emanuel August, Pfalzgraf von Sulzbach

Joseph Charles, Count Palatine of Sulzbach (German: Joseph Karl) (Sulzbach, November 2 1694 – Oggersheim, July 18 1729) was the eldest son of Theodore Eustace, Count Palatine of Sulzbach.

Life

The Sulzbach line war related to the Palatinate-Neuburg line who were Electors Palatine. The Elector Palatine Charles III Philip of the Palatinate-Neuburg line failed to produce a legitimate male heir, and his brothers also. By 1716 it was evident that the Palatinate-Neuburg line would become extinct and that the Sulzbach line would succeed them. Joseph Charles, the eldest son of the Count Palatine of Sulzbach, was the clear heir. In 1717 Joseph Charles married Countess Palatine Elizabeth Augusta Sophie of Neuburg, the daughter of Charles III Philip, a move which united the two lines and the sons of the union would become the indisputable heir of the Palatinate, preventing another succession war.

However the plans went awry. All the sons fathered by Joseph Charles and Elizabeth Augusta died in infancy, and only three daughters survived. In 1728 Elizabeth Augusta died in childbirth, and Joseph Charles died the following year in Oggersheim. Therefore the inheritance of Palatinate-Sulzbach and the eventual inheritance passed to Joseph Charles' brother John Christian Joseph and his family.

Joseph Charles was buried in the St. Michael's Church, Munich.
