Elizabeth of Bosnia ²

   Cause of her death was strangulation or drowning while imprisoned.

  General Notes:

Mary became Queen of Hungary after her father's death in 1382 (her elder sister Catherine died four years earlier). The country was ruled by her mother the Dowager Queen Elizabeth and by Palatine Miklós Garai. Many noblemen of Hungary were opposed to them and they helped Charles of Durazzo (Charles III of Naples, Charles II of Hungary) to become King of Hungary in 1385. Queen Elizabeth and Garai had Charles II assassinated in 1386. The supporters of Charles II captured Elizabeth and Mary. On the anniversary of the death of Charles II, Elizabeth was strangled before Mary's eyes.

  Research Notes:

Elizabeth was the daughter of Stephen II of Bosnia and Elisabeth of Kujavia. Her maternal grandfather was Casimir of Kujavia, son of Ziemomysl of Kujavia and Salome of Pomerelia. Ziemomysl, Elisabeth's great-grandfather, was a Polish prince, a brother of Vladislav I of Poland, Louis's grandfather. Elisabeth's father was Louis's vassal in southern frontiers of Hungary.

Elizabeth married Louis I of Hungary, son of Charles I Robert of Hungary and Elizabeth of Poland, in 1353 in Cracow, Malopolskie, Poland.¹ (Louis I of Hungary was born in 1326 and died in 1382.)
