[edit] Marriage
On 11 May 1315, Isabel married Frederick I of Austria, King of Germany in Ravensburg. Her husband had been elected as one of two rival Kings of Germany in October, 1314. His rival was Louis IV of Bavaria. With her marriage, Isabel became one of two Queens of Germany with Beatrix von Silesia-Glogau, wife of Louis IV.
Isabel and Frederick had at least three children:
- Frederick of Austria (1316 - 1322).
- Elisabeth of Austria (1317 - 23 October 1336).
- Anna of Austria (1318 - 14 December 1343). Married first Henry XV, Duke of Bavaria and secondly John Henry, Count of Gorizia.
On 5 September 1325, Frederick I and Louis IV resolved their conflict by agreeing to serve as co-rulers. However Frederick soon became the junior co-ruler and retired to Austria until his death on 13 January 1330. Isabel survived him by almost six months.
