Prince James Louis Sobieski was the son of King John III of Poland and his French wife, Marie Casimire Louise de La Grange. He was married on March 25, 1691 to Hedwig Elisabeth Amelia of Neuburg, the daughter of the Elector Palatine Philip William. On the death of James Louis' father, John III, no fewer than eighteen candidates stood for the vacant Polish throne. Family rivalries prevented the election of James Louis Sobieski even though Austria supported his candidacy.
