Elisabeth of the Palatinate (1381–1408)

Elisabeth von der Pfalz (* before October 27, 1381 in Amberg ; † December 31, 1408 in Innsbruck ) was the first wife of the Austrian titular Duke Friedrich IV with an empty pocket .

Her parents were the Roman-German King Ruprecht and his wife Elisabeth of Nuremberg . She had six brothers and three sisters. The fact that she married Duke Friedrich IV on December 24, 1406 in Innsbruck resulted from an alliance between her father and the Leopoldine branch of the Habsburgs . After only a short marriage, Elisabeth died at the age of 27 giving birth to her first child, a daughter named after her, who also passed away immediately. Elisabeth was buried in the Friedrichsgruft of Stams Abbey .

Brandstätter assumes that the marriage and the supplement took place in November or December 1407 in Rottenburg.
