Elizabeth of Holstein-Rendsburg

Elizabeth of Holstein-Rendsburg (c. 1300[1] – before 1340[2]) was the regent of the Duchy of Saxe-Lauenburg during the minority of her son from 1321 until 1330.

A member of the House of Schauenburg, Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry I, Count of Holstein-Rendsburg, and Heilwig of Bronckhorst.

Her first husband was John II, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, whom she married in c. 1315.

Elizabeth gave birth to a son who succeeded her husband as Albert IV, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, but she ruled the duchy as regent due to his minority.

In 1330, Duchess Elizabeth married Eric,[3] junior king of Denmark, the son of her brother Gerhard's enemy, King Christopher II of Denmark.
