Elizabeth of Luxembourg (1409-1442) was the daughter of Sigismund of Luxembourg and Barbara of Cilli. Instead of a happy childhood, her life changed due to dynastic values: at the age of two she was betrothed, and at the age of 12 she became the wife of Albert I.<\/p>\n
On 22 February 1440, Elizabeth, four months after the death of her husband, gave birth to her second son in Kom\u00e1rno, who later became King of Hungary under the name Ladislaus V.
In addition to the birth of her royal descendant, another fateful moment took place in Kom\u00e1rno that night. At the Queen’s command, her lady-in-waiting Helena Kottanner with a few maids had to steal the Holy Crown from Visegr\u00e1d. The crown was sewn into a pillow, in which she brought it to Kom\u00e1rno. The Queen thus managed to crown her son Ladislaus V. The coronation was entirely proper. The ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Esztergom, Cardinal D\u00e9nes Sz\u00e9csi. <\/p>\n
The story of Ladislaus V is well known from Erkel’s opera L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Hunyadi and from the ballad by J\u00e1nos Arany \u2013 V. L\u00e1szl\u00f3. However, only a few people know that Elizabeth died two years after the birth of her son at the age of 33 in Gy\u0151r.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":368,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"kategoria-programov":[108],"obec":[115],"class_list":["post-1467","zaujimavost","type-zaujimavost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-programov-with-culture","obec-komarno"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost\/1467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/zaujimavost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/zaujimavost"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1467"},{"taxonomy":"kategoria-programov","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-programov?post=1467"},{"taxonomy":"obec","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitdanube.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/obec?post=1467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
