Elisabeth Corvinus

Elisabeth Corvinus or Elisabeth Hunyadi (21 December 1496 – Gyula, Hungary, 1508) was the Princess of Hungary and the last surviving member of the Hungarian Royal House of Hunyadi.

Life

Her father was János Corvinus, an illegitimate son of King Matthias I. Her mother was Beatrice de Frangepan, who was from a famous Croatian noble family, the Frankopans.

With her brother's death, young Elisabeth was now sole heir to the immense estates of the Hunyadi. Shortly thereafter, in 1505, she was betrothed to George, the younger son of the Duchess of Teschen. The marriage never took place, prevented by Elisabeth's death in 1508.

Elisabeth also died without issue, and the extinction of the Royal House became total.
