The son of Frederick V, the ""Winter King"" of Bohemia, and Elizabeth Stuart, sister of Charles I, Charles Louis spent much of his early life in exile due to the Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War. His political career was eventful but he is best known for his controversial personal life including his divorce from Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel and his bigamous marriage to Marie Luise von Degenfeld. His daughter, Elizabeth Charlotte, married Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, the younger brother of Louis XIV. She later became known as the ""Grandmother of Europe"" since her descendants included Francis I and Marie Antoinette.
