Frederick became elector in 1610 and married James I of England?s daughter Elizabeth in 1613. In 1619 he was chosen king of Bohemia, but was driven out by imperial troops a week after his coronation. His most famous son was Prince Rupert the cavalier soldier and seaman. One of his daughters married the Elector of Hanover, their son eventually became George I of England. The portrait was painted in about 1624, and there is a later false inscription ?Earl Lindsey?.
