Elisabeth of Bohemia (1358–1373)

Elisabeth of Luxembourg - Bohemia (* March 19, 1358 in Prague, † September 4 or September 19, 1373 in Vienna) was the only daughter of the third marriage of Emperor Charles IV with Anna Schweidnitz, next to her brother, the later Roman - German King Wenceslas.

Elizabeth was 1363/1364 betrothed to Otto V., later Margrave of Brandenburg. The engagement was, however, released in 1366, because the Emperor Elisabeth for a marriage to the Habsburg Duke Albrecht III. needed. The marriage was a move of the Emperor, in order to prevent connection of the Habsburg Duke with Elisabeth of Hungary, Princess of Taranto, the Erbnichte the Hungarian King Ludwig I and instead engaged them with his own son Wenzel. Otto V. received instead the widowed older half- sister Elizabeth, Catherine of Luxembourg, which was out of the question in his first marriage with the 1365 deceased brother Albrecht III. , Rudolf IV was married, and for this reason for a marriage to Albrecht. On March 19, 1366 double wedding of the two sisters was held in Prague. Elizabeth died at the age of 15 childless in Vienna. Your final resting place she found in the Church of Gaming Charterhouse, in the local Habsburg grave lay.
