Elisabeth of Gorizia-Tyrol

Elisabeth of Gorizia-Tyrol

Elisabeth de Gorizia de Tirol de Carantania (c. 1262 – 28 October 1312) was Queen consort of the Holy Roman Empire and Duchess of Austria, etc.

Family

She was the eldest daughter of Meinhard II, Duke of Carinthia, count of Gorizia and Tyrol.

Her mother was his wife Elisabeth of Bavaria. She was a daughter of Otto II Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria and his wife Agnes, herself daughter of Henry V, Count Palatine of the Rhine and Agnes of Hohenstaufen. Her mother was also the widow of Conrad IV of Germany. Therefore, the young Elisabeth was a half-sister of Conradin, King of Jerusalem etc and Duke of Swabia who was killed in 1268.

The younger Elisabeth was from 1274 the wife of the future Albert I of Germany, one of the founders of the House of Habsburg, becoming thus daughter-in-law of the King of the Romans. Her husband, then a Count of Habsburg was invested as Duke of Austria and Styria in December 1282 by his father the King Rudolf. They solidified their rule in what was to become the Habsburg patrimony, also by help of Elisabeth's father who in his turn in 1286 was created Duke of Carinthia.

In 1298, her husband was finally elected the King upon the end of the reign of Adolf of Nassau. Her husband was murdered on 1 May, 1308 by his nephew John "the Parricide" in Windisch, located in modern-day Switzerland.
