LIEGE - BISHOPRIC OF LIEGE - JOHANN-THEODOR OF BAVARIA
(01/23/1744-01/27/1763)
Jean-Théodore of Bavaria was born on September 3, 1703 from the union of Maximilien-Emmanuel, elector of Bavaria, and Thérèse-Cunégonde Sobieski. After completing his university studies in Ingolstadt and Siena, on July 29, 1719 he became bishop of Regensburg and then of Freisingen.

He was created cardinal by the Pope on January 17, 1746. Jean-Théodore died on January 27, 1763.
