Elizabeth’s Youth and Education
Elizabeth was born on the 7th of August in 1560, she was named Erzsébet, but we call her Elizabeth because that’s how she’s internationally known.
She lived in what we now know as the north of Hungary, and she was born into a rich and wealthy family as her parents were very influential.
Elizabeth also had a critical uncle named Stephen Báthory, who was the Prince of Transsylvania and the King of Poland since 1576. According to many Polish people today, he is still known as one of the best kings Poland has ever had.
There isn’t much information about Elizabeth’s youth, but a couple of things are known, such as the fact that she was raised as a Calvinist and had epilepsy which caused heavy seizures.
