## Bio

Elizabeth of Luxembourg was born on 7 October 1409, the only child of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary and Bohemia. After her father's death, she and her husband Albert II were elected by the Hungarian estates as de facto equal rulers, though she couldn't fully claim her crown when the Veszprém bishop blocked the ceremony over protocol. She was nonetheless recognised as co-ruler and took an active part in government. Albert died in 1439, leaving her pregnant with two daughters already born. Bohemian nobility declared an interregnum and Polish king Władysław III was crowned in Hungary in May 1440, three months after Elizabeth delivered a son, Ladislaus the Posthumous. She refused to let go of her patrimony and fought a civil war on her son's behalf against Władysław's supporters. The conflict was still raging when she died suddenly on 19 December 1442.
