Agnes of Opole

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agnes von Oppeln (* 1360 ; † April 1, 1413 ) was the second wife of Margrave Jobst of Moravia from the House of Luxembourg , Margrave of Moravia and Brandenburg and (1410) elected German King.

Her parents were the Opole Duke Bolko II and Elisabeth, daughter of Duke Bernhard von Schweidnitz . After Elisabeth von Oppeln , niece of Agnes and first wife of Margrave Jobst, died at the age of 14 after only two years of marriage, Jobst married Agnes von Oppeln in 1374. Since this marriage also remained childless, Jobst was the last Luxembourger to rule the margraviate of Moravia. Jobst was elected King of the Holy Roman Empire in 1410 , but died a few months later on January 18, 1411. Agnes died two years later.
