The date Elisabeth died is unknown but she must still have been alive on 30 October 1308 when a charter refers to her husband as the son-in-law of Henry I, Landgraf von Hessen,^[2],^[3] but as her husband died between 1325 and 1327 but had issue with a second wife before then, Elisabeth must have died long before 1327.^[1]
