 For example, Sophia of Stadion-Tannhausen requested proof of Maria Kunigunde's nobility, confirmed by two electors or imperial princes, and also that the next abbess reside at the Abbey — this was not an unusual requirement at ladies' abbeys, but it was unacceptable to the court in Dresden.The court interpreted the demand for proof of nobility as an insult.Only after a papal dispensation from the residence requirement was obtained, and Joseph II had impounded the Abbey's possessions, did the chapter concede and admitted Maria Kunigunde as a collegiate lady.
