Later life and death
She died (from an illness associated with painless discharge of pus and blood from the intestines, as is evident from Marius' letters and councils to Elisabeth's husband, Elector Ludwig VI[4]) a year before her husband and was buried on April 1, 1582, in the Church of the Holy Spirit (Heidelberg).[5]
