Everything about Elisabeth Duchess Of Luxembourg totally explained
Elisabeth von Görlitz of Bohemia, Duchess of Luxembourg (November
1390 –
August 2,
1451) was reigning
Duchess of
Luxembourg from 1411 to 1443.
Life
Elisabeth was the only daughter and heiress of
John of Görlitz, the third son of
Emperor Charles IV. He was Duke of
Lusatia and
Görlitz, and also
Elector of Brandenburg for a brief period. Her mother,
Richardis of Mecklenburg-Schewerin, was the daughter of King
Albert of Sweden.
The Dukedom of Luxembourg was mortgaged to Elisabeth by her uncle,
Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor. He was unable to repay the loan, and subsequently left Elisabeth in control of the duchy.
Her first marriage took place in
Brussels on
July 16,
1409, to
Antoine, Duke of Brabant. He defended her against three uprisings of the Luxembourg nobility, until his death in 1415. They had two children:
John of Bavaria was her second husband. He died in 1425, and they didn't have any children. After his death, she became heavily indebted.
In 1441, she made a treaty with
Philip III, Duke of Burgundy, allowing him to immediately assume the administrative duties of Luxembourg and inherit the duchy upon her death. He agreed to this, but chose to launch a night attack on the territory two years later, taking immediate control. Elisabeth was subsequently expelled from Luxembourg by Philip's forces.
