Duke Joseph Ferdinand Leopold of Bavaria ( 28 October 1692 - 6 February 1699 ) was the son of Maximilian II Emanuel , Elector of Bavaria (1679-1705, 1714-1726) and his first wife, Marie Antonie of Austria, daughter of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor , maternal granddaughter of King Felipe IV Of Spain . Before the War Of The Spanish Succession , Joseph Ferdinand was the favored choice of England and the Netherlands to succeed as the ruler of Spain , young Charles II Of Spain chose him as his heir. The unexpected death of Joseph Ferdinand in 1699 at the age of six rendered the Anglo-French treaty inoperative and led to the Second Partition Treaty ( 1700 ), agreed upon by France, England, and the Netherlands; under its terms, Philip Of Anjou was to receive Naples , Sicily , and Milan , while the rest of the Spanish dominions were to go to Charles , son of Leopold I. But Leopold did not accept this treaty and Louis XIV broke the treaty, when he enthroned Philip in Spain. |
