Princess Elisabeth of Thurn and Taxis[1][2] (German: Elisabeth Maria Maximiliana, Prinzessin von Thurn und Taxis[2]) (28 May 1860, Dresden, Kingdom of Saxony[1][2] – 7 February 1881, Ödenburg, Austrian Empire[1][2])

Life

Elisabeth was a Princess of Thurn and Taxis by birth and an Infanta of Portugal, Princess of Braganza, and titular Queen consort of Portugal through her marriage to Miguel, Duke of Braganza, Miguelist claimant to the throne of Portugal from 1866 to 1920.

Elisabeth was the second eldest child and daughter[1][2] of Maximilian Anton Lamoral, Hereditary Prince of Thurn and Taxis and his wife Duchess Helene in Bavaria.[1][2]

Marriage and Issue

Elisabeth married Miguel, Duke of Braganza, only son and second eldest child[1][2] of Miguel I of Portugal and his wife Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg,[1][2] on 17 October 1877 in Regensburg, Kingdom of Bavaria.[1][2]

Elisabeth and Miguel had three children:[1][2]

The couple moved to Austria, where on 22 September 1878 in Reichenau an der Rax, her first son, Miguel Maximiliano, was born. It was after this birth that Elisabeth's health began to deteriorate. Elisabeth died at the age of 20 in Ödenburg shortly after the birth of her third child, Maria Teresa.

Elisabeth's mother Helene withdrew after her death more and more from public life. Her husband Miguel eventually remarried on 8 November 1893 in Kleinheubach to Princess Maria Theresa of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg.
