Life

In Arolsen on 2 March 1620, Elisabeth Juliana married Count Georg Louis of Löwenstein-Scharfeneck. They had two children: [1] [ better source needed ]

During her first marriage, she acted as a guardian of Anna Margareta von Haugwitz.

As a widow in 1633, she nursed the first German spouse of Banér, Katarina Elisabet von Pfuel, (former lady in waiting of Maria Eleonora of Brandenburg) at her death bed; Pfuel is said to have asked the two to marry at her death, which they did the same year, on 25 July 1636 in Werbeskans.

She has been described as: Excellent by her sense, goodness and ability. She was the good angel of Banér, and directed him toward leniency and calm where it was possible. The army respected her as a mother. [4]

She died of a fever during the famine war at Saalfeld. Johan Banér, devastated by her death, considered abandoning his posts, but was persuaded to stay. Her remains were carried with great splendor to Sweden and buried in the Banér family crypt.
