Born some time between 1275 and 1280, she was the eldest child and daughter
of Emperor Albrecht I and Elisabeth von Tirol. In 1292 Adolf von Nassau
was chosen as Emperor Elect in opposition to her father and, as a result,
she became a pawn in her father's alliance policy.
In 1293 she became engaged and, in September 1295 in Graz, married
Hermann, Markgraf von Brandenburg. However, after the birth of several
children, Hermann died in 1308. In 1310 she married Heinrich VI von Schlesien,
Duke of Breslau, and a further three daughters were born.
This marriage secured her second husband's loyalty to the Habsburgs.
