Elisabeth von Habsburg (1285–1352)
Elisabeth von Habsburg , also Elisabeth von Lothringen (* around 1285 in Vienna ; † 19 May 1352 in Nancy ) was a daughter of the Roman-German King Albrecht I and his wife Elisabeth of Gorizia and Tyrol and by marriage the Duchess of Lorraine .
Life
Elisabeth was originally intended to be the wife of a son of the French King Philip IV in 1299 in order to establish closer ties between her father and France. Ultimately, however, Elisabeth's eldest brother, Rudolf III, married. 1300 with Blanche , a daughter of King Philip III. , while the aforementioned marriage plan for Elisabeth was dropped.
A few years later, Elisabeth married the future Duke Friedrich IV of Lorraine instead . The marriage contract was signed on August 6, 1306, and the wedding itself took place in Nancy in 1307. In Lorraine, Elisabeth was known as Isabella .
The two children of Elisabeth and Friedrich IV were:
- Rudolf (Raoul) (* 1320; † August 26, 1346 in the Battle of Crécy );, Duke of Lorraine, ∞ I Aliénor von Bar († 1333), daughter of Edward I , Count of Bar ; ∞ II Marie de Châtillon, called Marie de Blois († 1363), regent of Lorraine 1346, daughter of Guy I. de Châtillon , Count of Blois and Dunois ( House of Châtillon )
- Margaret († after 1376), ∞ I Jean de Chalon († 1360), Lord of Auberive , ( House of Burgundy-Ivrea ); ∞ II Konrad († before 1362), Count of Freiburg , Lord of Romont ; ∞ III Ulrich IV. († 1377), Lord of Rappoltstein
After Frederick IV of Lorraine died in 1328 or 1329, Elisabeth, who had been assigned Neufchâteau and Châtenois as Wittum , took over the reign of her underage son Rudolf until 1331. She died in Nancy in 1352.
funeral
Elisabeth was buried in the church of the Königsfelden monastery . In 1770 their bones came through the ceremonial translation of the imperial-royal-also-ducal-Austrian highest corpses, first to the St. Blasien Cathedral and, after the abolition of the St. Blasien monastery in 1806, to the Spital am Pyhrn monastery , then to the Collegiate church crypt of the monastery Sankt Paul im Lavanttal in Carinthia.
The description of the reburial by Franz Kreutter mentions the disputes between Nancy, where she wanted to be buried in the St. Georg chapel she had donated, and the "victory" of the Königsfelden monastery.

Individual evidence
- ^ So Richard Reifenscheid ( King Albrecht I. In: Gerhard Hartmann, Karl Rudolf Schnith (eds.): Die Kaiser . 1996, ISBN 3-222-12421-3 , p. 391); in the article on Elisabeth in: Brigitte Hamann (Ed.), Die Habsburger , p. 82, it is assumed that Elisabeth was born around 1293.
- ↑ This date of death is consistently given by Richard Reifenscheid, Die Kaiser , p. 391 and Brigitte Hamann (Ed.), Die Habsburger , p. 82; differently, Charles Cawley ( Austria, Medieval Lands ) cites May 19, 1353 as Elisabeth's date of death.
