Johann Theodor of Bavaria
- Johann Theodor of Bavaria
Johann Theodor of Bavaria was prince-bishop of Liège from 1744 to 1763. He had been a member of the cathedral chapter since 1738, and during his time as bishop also ruled over the bishoprics of Freising and Regensburg. He was the last representative of the Wittelsbach family to occupy the bishopric of Liège.
He was also a great hunter and patron of music (he played the violincello himself) and theatre, holding a splendid court at Liège. He had affairs with several women despite his clerical status and was liked by the inhabitants of the bishopric. Asthmatic and tubercular, he gave into the advice of his doctor Steppler (a German from Munich), who pretended that his sickness originated from coal vapours. He thus went for regular stays in Germany, though this did not improve his health.
