Elizabeth, Princess Palatine was the eldest daughter and most gifted child of Frederick V and Elizabeth Stuart, who were briefly elected King and Queen of Bohemia. She studied science and philosophy, and when Descartes stayed in the Netherlands a friendship between the princess and the philosopher developed.

Elizabeth went on to become abbess of the protestant ecclesiastical community of Herford in Germany.
