Elizabeth of Pomerania (Person)
Elizabeth of Pomerania
1347 AD - 1393 AD
- Holy Roman Empress, Queen consort of Germany and Bohemia 1363–1378
- fourth and final wife of Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor
- House of Pomerania
Elisabeth is reputed to have been a very vigorous, self-confident and physically strong person. The relationship between Elisabeth and Charles is described to have been good and harmonious.
During the serious illness of Charles in 1371, Elisabeth made a miniature pilgrimage by walking on foot to the cathedral and offering gifts in a prayer to his health. Their good relationship has been portrayed in art, such as in Noc na Karlštejně (A Night at Karlstein).
She does not seem to have wielded any political influence, however: she was tormented by the fact that Charles preferred his children from his former marriage, but was unable to change his mind.
