Elizabeth of Hungary (died 1189), was a Duchess consort of Bohemia, married to Frederick, Duke of Bohemia.[1] Her parents were King Géza II of Hungary and Euphrosyne of Kiev. She served as regent of Bohemia twice in the absence of her spouse.
Biography
Elizabeth married Frederick in about the year of 1157.
In 1179, Elizabeth served as regent during the absence of her spouse and as such successfully conducted the defense of Prague toward her brother-in-law Sobeslav II. She appeared herself on the battlefield with clerical insignia on her banner.
In 1184, she repeated the very same fight toward the very same opponent and was again victorious. In 1189, however, she was forced to surrender to Conrad II.
