Countess Elisabeth Dobrzensky of Dobrzenicz
Countess Elisabeth Dobrzensky of Dobrzenicz (; 7 December 1875 – 11 June 1951) was a Bohemian noblewoman whose marriage to the son of the former heiress to the throne of Brazil prompted renunciation of his claim to the abolished monarchy's throne. Early life. She was the daughter of Johann Wenzel (Jan Václav), Count Dobrzensky of Dobrzenicz and his wife, Countess Elisabeth Kottulinsky, Baroness of Kottulin and Krzizkowitz. She had three elder brothers Jan, Otokar and Jaroslav and a younger brother named Karl Kunata. Karl Kunata renamed himself to Count Kottulinský in Austria in 1905; late in  1912, he married Countess Maria Theresia von Meran, member of a morganatic branch of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. Legacy. Elisabeth married Pedro de Alcântara, Prince of Grão-Pará on 14 November 1908 at Versailles. He had previously renounced his hereditary claim to the crown of Brazil because she was not of royal birth. They had five children: Elisabeth died on 11 June 1951 at the age of 75. She was buried with Pedro.
