He had been the last male member of the House of Poděbrady and he had hoped he could pass the duchy to his daughter.

The Poděbrady family retained the Moravian dominion of Šternberk; the Duchy of Münsterberg was declared vacant and fell back to the Emperor.

The Emperor combined the coats of arms of Elizabeth Marie and Silvius Nimrod.

In 1652, Elizabeth Marie and Silvius Nimrod founded the Ducal Württemberg-Oelsian Order of the Skull.

After Silvius Nimrod died in 1664, Elizabeth Marie and Dukes Christian of Brieg and August of Legnica acted jointly as regent for her four minor sons.
