Elisabeth of Brandenburg, Duchess of Württemberg

Elizabeth of Brandenburg-Ansbach (29 November 1451, Ansbach – 28 March 1524, Nürtingen) was a princess of Brandenburg by birth and by marriage Duchess of Württemberg.

Elizabeth was the second daughter of the Elector Albrecht III Achilles of Brandenburg (1414–1486) from his first marriage to Margaret of Baden (1431–1457).

Through the marriage of his daughter, Albrecht Achilles was able to exert considerable influence on his son-in-law.

[2] Unlike her husband, Elisabeth was not expelled from Württemberg, instead the agreement signed at Horb am Neckar carried an obligation for the new ruler to provide for her maintenance.

She retired in 1499 to her widow seat at Nürtingen castle, where she led a pious and charitable life.
