[QUOTE="Agback, post: 1094325, member: 5328"] Or possibly she lost her temper with a clumsy servant, whipped her with the laces from a bodice until she drew blood, and then ordered the girl to be locked in the cellar for the night. The cellar was unheated and the girl died of cold. Later, Elisabeth's husband Stephen was killed in fighting over the Polish crown, and since she had no male protectors she was a ripe target for informers. Her enemies accused her of witchcraft and made outrageous accusations, hoping to split her lands 50:50 with the Inquisition. But Elisabeth's nephew showed up, the case was actually heard, and no evidence could be adduced for any of the accusations except for the murder of the clumsy servant. This was not subject to the jurisdiction of the Inquisition, so Elisabeth's lands were not forfeit, and her nephew won the resulting fighting for possession of them. Just another possibility.
