Archduchess Sophie persuaded her husband, Archduke Francis Charles to abdicate his rights to the throne and so Emperor Ferdinand I passed the throne to her son and retired.

Due to her father's status as King of Bavaria, Sophie and many of her siblings were married to those of the highest rank, with many becoming Duchesses and Queens.   
Sophie was married in 1824 to Archduke Francis Charles of Austria. Sophie's attentions were focused firmly on her eldest son Francis Joseph and her ambition to place him on the Austrian throne was widely known.
