Elisabeth – Anna Sidonia – Elisabeth Lukrezia von Teschen. Herzoginnen in unruhigen Zeiten
Elisabeth – Anna Sidonia – Elisabeth Lucretia of Cieszyn (Teschen). Duchesses in Troubled Times

Summary/Abstract: The princesses were shaped by their dynasty of origin. Their role in the court they married into could be expressed in different ways depending on the time and the political, social and religious context: they could act as an active agent of cultural influence, of changes or conflicts, they could be used as an instrument by others, such as their court of origin, or they could act as a catalyst by their presence alone. This will be illustrated by the example of the last Piasts in Cieszyn at the end of the 16th and in the first half of the 17th century.
